The new coronavirus has made rising tensions over
Asia as the Japanese health ministry Confirmed that a man in his 30s from
Kanagawa prefecture has contaminated with the virus. It has been reported that
he has lived with an infected person while he was in Wuhan, a major city where
authorities claim that SARS-like virus originates from. A similar type of
incident has been reported from Thailand where Chinese tourist had been
quarantined with it.
