HONG KONG (The Straits Times/ANN):- Chinese authorities have reported a second death from a mystery virus that has left dozens of people ill in the city of Wuhan, Hong Kong media reports said.

The Wuhan health authorities reported late on Thursday that a 69-year-old man, who was first taken ill on Dec 31, died on Wednesday at the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital in Hubei province after a two-week illness that progressed to multi-organ system failure. His symptoms became more severe on Jan 4, broadcaster RTHK reported.

The first case outside China was detected in Thailand on Monday - a 61-year-old Chinese woman who had been hospitalised for high fever and breathing difficulties. She is now in a stable condition. In Singapore, a third suspected case was reported on Thursday. The Ministry of Health said a 69-year-old man who travelled to Wuhan has been diagnosed with pneumonia.
