Officials in Osaka confirmed that a woman who works as a tour bus guide had tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time, further heightening concerns about the spread of the infection in the country.
She was first diagnosed with COVID-19 in late January and was discharged from hospital on 1 February, and her reinfection has health experts worrying that the illness could remain dormant after an apparent recovery.

HIPPA gags
Itll come out soon because it will have to be classified as travel or community or unknown etc.
I don't see how HIPPA comes into play, as long as no personally identifying information is mentioned?

Expose your bare skin to sunlight. That will help.

BELLEVILLE, Ill. — Memorial Hospital in Belleville has referred one patient to the Illinois Department of Health over concerns of coronavirus, according to hospital spokesperson Kim Renth.
"Following guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, BJC HealthCare hospitals have processes in place to screen patients for risk of coronavirus, or COVID-19," Renth said in a statement.
The patient was referred for further lab testing and results are expected in the next few days, Renth said.
This is a developing story and 5 On Your Side will provide more information as it becomes available.

Sure glad it isnt SARS?? And here I thought some knew what they were talking about!
The new COVID-19 is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. The most likely ecological reservoirs for SARS-CoV-2 are bats,
but it is believed that the virus jumped the species barrier to humans from another intermediate animal host. This
intermediate animal host could be a domestic food animal, a wild animal, or a domesticated wild animal which has
not yet been identified.
WHO SARS COV
Naming the coronavirus disease (COVID-2019) and the virus that causes it
Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes. The official names are:
Disease
coronavirus disease
(COVID-19)
Virus
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2)
WHO renamed it
HerppDerp...
From a risk communications perspective, using the name SARS can have unintended consequences in terms of creating unnecessary fear for some populations, especially in Asia which was worst affected by the SARS outbreak in 2003.
As the name indicates, the virus is related to the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) that caused an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002-2003, however it is not the same virus.

This is directly from the WHO link you posted.

You deserve an ATS award my friend.
This is why they shut it all down.

According to CDC (so take that as you may), not the same virus as SARS (although I can't find epidemiology of SARS COV-2 compared with SARS from that 2003 outbreak so who knows)
This is also why, previous to being given this formalized name it was a "Novel" coronavirus, because it had never been seen before.
As the name indicates, the virus is related to the SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) that caused an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002-2003, however it is not the same virus.

Here is the definitive update.... "coronavirus" is fake news.
One type of coronavirus is responsible for the COMMON COLD. It's all word games, bozo.
The story of January 2020 coronavirus is only a platform to deliver an encoded message to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Notice the stock market movement lately? Is there any connection?
Of course.
The film keeps rolling. The propaganda broadcasters keep broadcasting the propaganda.
Stocks go up. Stocks go down. Right on time. You don't know. Shills galore in the Media. All your heroes are just shilling.

The POPE dies from this. Then the previous POPE becomes POPE again, to fill the void.
It's the final countdown.
