A Chinese man in his 30s has tested positive for the new coronavirus, the Japanese health ministry said Thursday. The man was hospitalised Jan 10, but was discharged five days later because he had recovered, according to the health ministry. It was the second confirmed case of the new coronavirus reported outside China in the past week. In Thailand, authorities also detected the country’s first case Monday in a 61-year-old Chinese woman. But he said health authorities are waiting until the labs confirm that she is free from the coronavirus before discharging her.
