After spreading in China, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, the deadly Corona Virus has infected a person in Washington in the US. This has been informed by The Center for Disease Control, US. Laboratory testing of a clinical specimen confirmed the diagnosis on January 20, 2020.

The virus, which spread from the Chinese city of Wuhan, has infected almost 300 people, and killed six of them.

Dr KK Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India, said Corona Virus is still not being declared to be a notifiable disease.

“Anyone returning from China to India, if has symptoms, he will not declare. He should take anti-histaminic and paracetamol and rush back to India. No one will tell that he or she is suffering from flu,” said Dr Aggarwal.

“Asymptomatic cases cannot be picked up at the airport which may still be infectious. If they carry infection and visit India, they will bring the virus here. One symptomatic case will infect other travelers during the flight, all cannot be isolated,” added Dr Aggarwal.
