to avoid contact with animals after a mysterious form of pneumonia of unknown origins sickened dozens of people and left some in critical condition.
Chinese authorities say tests so far suggest the disease is not similar to any known virus and does not resemble bird flu, which is spread through birds and considered a potential public health threat. “There has been no evidence to date that this illness, whatever it’s caused by, is spread easily from person to person,” said Dr. Tam, who added that no health care workers caring for the patients have become ill -- a positive sign.Still, travellers from Wuhan are being screened at airports in China and nearby South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore
Dr. Neil Rau, an infectious disease specialist and assistant professor at the University of Toronto, said the lack of answers “makes this story feel mysterious, and makes us think a little bit about 2003 when SARS was an unknown illness.” Public health officials say China is sharing information, and the World Health Organization is also monitoring the outbreak.
