As I mentioned in my last blog entry, there have been consistent rumors of coronavirus cases being detected in Mainland citees beyond Wuhan, and about 4 hours ago we saw Guangdong Province Confirms 1st Novel Coronavirus Case.
For the past few hours it has also been widely reported that two cases have been detected in Beijing, and while the stories appear credible, I've been unable to find any official statement to that effect.The World Health Organization, however, via their twitter account confirmed the Beijing report a couple of hours ago in the following series of tweets.
This is obviously a rapidly evolving story, and each report has an increasingly short shelf life. We should start getting updates again from Asia in the next few hours, and the next Wuhan City case count around noon tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
