China Strange Virus: Second death registered
A second person has reportedly died of pneumonia from a new virus in China. Chinese health officials said the 69-year-old man identified as Xiong, died on Wednesday in the central city of Wuhan, where the virus is said to have originated.
Xiong’s death follows that of a 61-year-old man in the same city on January 9, who died after respiratory failure caused by severe pneumonia.
(The World Health Organization (WHO) had earlier given a global warning to Hospitals and said the new virus could spread as there are evidences of human-to-human transmission.)
