NSTworld: A 70-year-old man in China’s Hubei province was infected with Covid-19 coronavirus - but did not show symptoms until 27 days later.

A longer incubation period could complicate efforts to contain the spread of the epidemic that has so far killed more than 2,300 people and spread outside China.

The man, only identified by his family name, Jiang, on Jan 24 drove his car back to Shennongjia, in northwestern Hubei, from eastern Ezhou, where he had close contact with his sister, who had been infected, according to the government website of Hubei, the virus epicentre. He had a fever on Feb 20 and tested positive for coronavirus a day later, according to the government statement. - Reuters
