Hong Kong reports first Coronavirus death
Hong Kong/IBNS: Hong Kong City reported its first case of death from the coronavirus outbreak on Tuesday.
The virus outbreak has leftover 400 people dead in the Asian nation so far.
A 39-year-old died due to the disease in the city.
Dr Chuang Shuk-kwan, head of the Centre for Health Protection’s communicable disease branch, told South Chian Morning Post that so far four confirmed cases presented “no obvious source of infection”, and warned of the possibility of outbreaks in the community.
“It is highly probably the four cases were infected locally, so there could be invisible chains of infection happening within communities,” Chuang said. “We do not rule out a large spread [of the virus] in the future.”
