                    03/08/2020 07:57 PM

                    ...the DNA sequencing of the 39th patient indicates that the virus strain she was infected with has little similarity with the virus strains found in the other Taiwanese patients.

                    It is closer to those found in coronavirus infection samples in Europe, including those in Italy, Brazil and Nigeria, according to Yeh.

                    As such, the results indicate that the Taiwanese patient was not infected with the coronavirus in Taiwan but likely did so during her Egypt trip, which means she was not necessarily the source of the cluster infection among the Egyptian crew members....
