PUTRAJAYA: A 59-year-old woman from Wuhan is the latest positive case of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Malaysia, bringing the country's tally to 15. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad (pic) said the woman was holidaying in Johor Baru with her husband, son and daughter-in-law. Dzulkefly said the woman tested positive on Thursday (Feb 6) and is currently placed in an isolation ward at Hospital Permai in Johor Baru. "However, the woman did not travel out much and stayed at her accommodation most of the time," said Dzulkefly. "As with the first case where the four-year-old girl recovered from the virus, we know that these diseases are self-limiting," he said.
