The Latest: Thailand Confirms 6 New Virus Cases


BEIJING — The Latest on the outbreak of a new virus from China (all times local):9:30 p.m.Health officials in Thailand have confirmed six more cases of the new virus from China, bringing the country's total to 25. They are four Thai nationals and two Chinese from the city of Wuhan, the center of the outbreak. Two of the Thais are a husband and wife who traveled to Japan recently. The other two are motorcycle taxi drivers who had driven for Chinese tourists.
