LONDON - A businessman from England who contracted the new virus from China and may have spread it through his wide travels thanked Britain’s National Health Service after he recovered. Walsh had come into contact with the virus after a business trip to Singapore in January. He then went to a ski resort in the French Alps, potentially infecting other people before he was diagnosed with the virus and hospitalized. Another man who stayed at the French ski resort was discovered infected after returning home on the Spanish island of Mallorca. His case prompted French health authorities to test 61 other children and family members at the resort and temporarily close some schools there, but they all tested negative.
