New Sars Like Virus Can Spread Person to Person Says UK Scientists
Following the news a couple of days ago that there has been a second fatality from a coronavirus similar to the one that causes SARS (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome) UK scientists believe they have evidence that the condition can be passed from human to human.
In a statement issued this morning Professor John Watson Head of the respiratory diseases department at the Health Protection Agency said:
“Confirmed novel coronavirus infection in a person without travel history to the Middle East suggests that person to person transmission has occurred in the UK. Although this case provides strong evidence for person to person transmission, the risk of infection is still considered to be very low”
