At least seven European countries have reported their first cases of novel coronavirus in the past two days, as the outbreak spreads across the world. Elsewhere in Europe, Italy is struggling to contain its outbreak -- the largest outside Asia. Meanwhile, authorities in the Middle East are also racing to contain the virus spread.

In Asia, the epidemic is far from over -- South Korea has reported its largest number of new infections yet on Thursday.The East Asian country reported more than 500 new cases and one death in 24 hours, bringing the national total to 1,766 cases and 13 deaths. Many of the cases are linked to a religious group in the country's south. The total new case count is more than China’s announcement today of 433 new cases.

"We suspected some of the cruise staff may have already been infected, but ... they had to operate the cruise ship itself, they had to see the passengers, they had to deliver the meals," Dr. Norio Ohmagari saidDenmark, Estonia, Norway, Georgia, Greece, Romania and North Macedonia have all announced their first virus infections since Wednesday morning. The number of countries around the world that have reported cases is now nearly 50.

She should invoke double jeopardy.

This is like a real life horror movie

It’s mutating.

A woman working in Japan or a Japanese woman. Which is it? Former makes me think it's a foreigner in Japan latter says a Japanese national. So which is it

TAKE CARE!

Maybe she hadn't fully recovered in the first place. We have heard of plenty of tests showing false readings.

Replace 'coronavirus' with 'flu' and it doesn't sound all that scary does it? More people die each day from the common flu than all the people who have died from the Coronavirus.

Omg ....I’m praying for her recovery this is rough...

O MY GOD!

Friend of mine had the flue twice they must have worked together.

Fukkkkkkkk this is a nightmare. I feel so bad for that woman 🥺

The term 'reinfection' is a little misleading, but this can occur - insufficient antibodies, modified strains, etc. In any case, COVIDー19 is bad news! coronavirus

Poor lady, hope she heals quickly.

You can pass the first test and still get it again?! What in the angel of death is this?!

Meanwhile, Democrats want to divert border wall money to 'coronovirus'. Democrats: Trump is evil for allowing Coronavirus to enter the U.S. Also Democrats: Trump is evil for wanting to control who enters the U.S.

Which means it has strain mutated enough to not be affected by developed antibodies so no vaccine will work right?

And we do not have first hand insight bc Trump has not been proactive w CoronavirusOutbreak. He is being reactive. He states we can put these ppl back! This takes time!! Time we do not have!

Next phase with this virus could be rogue states or apartheid regimes 'reporting' cases of illness among the oppressed.

Hmmm...

People, places and things maybe

We really don’t need an update every time someone in japan sneezes Fear monger Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

Don’t let trump know, it might affect his stock market.

Hey realDonaldTrump, I know you want us to think this isn't a big deal. You want people to think this is fake news. I think you should go over there and personally check out this situation. Take the whole family.

Lol guys we are f*cked up

This really just sounds like it wasn't gone in the first place. How can they definitively prove it was gone if tests are not reliable. *tosses in the fake news bin*

I think this virus is hete to stay. To many unknown things about it.

Now THAT scares the crap out of me.

Sneaky sneaky Ya got a virus with an incubation of up to 27 days. Had she really recovered or...

Is this at Super virus they've been warning us about for 20 years

Maybe the California guy got the virus from a package from china

Trump should be an end to his rallies! Too many people and too close contact. I will not go to one!

Oh great... Yesterday Pence was put in charge and now this... We're doom.

BS. She was incorrectly cleared and still was infected from the first time. CNN stirring more fear into you people again.

WHO issued following guidelines for safety against Coronavirus

That's serious! It shows the amazing ability of the virus for mutations. Having recovered did not give her immunity to reinfection.

She needs to buy a lottery ticket.

BS!

It was in Her sinuses.

Not good....

Very sad yikes hope she will recover 🙏🏽

China said 14% reinfected after recovery.

So what does that mean? Does your immune system not 'remember' it? Did it mutate? Did she have a comprised immune system?

Or did it never clear

At least she survived!

hope she survives

Ha

I’ve even never heard of the word “reinfection.”

Yea olympics are definitely getting cancelled. Anime Japan 2020 was cancelled, Abe calls for all schools to close, now this. I’m glad I’m waiting until next year to start at Waseda for my PhD. This is getting insane. All because of policy errors on the Wuhan government.

Poor woman! I pray she survives!!

Trying to watch cnn. Your network is HORRIBLE!
