                            According to the prefecture, it has not been possible to confirm whether this man has traveled to Wuhan, China, or has contacted anyone related to Wuhan. It is the first time in Wakayama Prefecture that infection with the new coronavirus has been confirmed.
                            Unsure if this case has been included in the total of 30 domestic cases - but - as always - it is worrying to see a health care worker confirmed. Wakayama Prefecture is also some distance from Kyoto and Tokyo but is very close to the busy port city of Osaka.
