Meanwhile, it remains unconfirmed whether the patient suspected of having contracted atypical pneumonia actually has the disease. While waiting for the final results of the analysis, last Saturday a team of experts from the WHO and the Chinese Ministry of Public Health visited the restaurant where the suspected patient worked as a waitress, as well as a wild animal market in Guangzhou (Canton). ), capital of Guangdong.
The young waitress, 20 years old, was confirmed last Thursday as the second suspected case of SARS in China. The patient is stable, and the hundred people who had contact with her, including 48 in close contact, have not shown symptoms of the disease.
