Four Australian cases of coronavirus confirmed
Three men in New South Wales have been confirmed as contracting the deadly coronavirus, hours after another case was identified in Victoria.
Three cases of the deadly coronavirus have been confirmed in New South Wales, bringing the total nationwide to four.
NSW Health tonight confirmed three men - one of which is aged in his 30s and another in his 50s - are being treated in Westmead Hospital in Sydney and are in isolation.
Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos said this afternoon that a case of the respiratory condition had been confirmed in a man who last week returned from China. He was in the country for six days before being diagnosed.
The NSW health department earlier on Saturday told reporters of two new “probable infections”, confirming that an additional four people in the state were undergoing testing.
The Victorian case was the first confirmed case in Australia of “about a dozen” being investigated nation wide, an estimate put forward by Queensland’s Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young on Saturday.
“It’s an evolving number,” she told reporters at a press conference on Saturday afternoon.
“We will be treating them as if they’re confirmed cases, as a precaution.
“We still don’t understand the transmissibility of this virus,” Ms Young explained, noting that treatment is symptomatic.
“If you develop fever, coughs or shortness of breath, you should ring ahead to your GP, discuss it and your GP will refer you to the emergency department. |
