    (Canary Islands, gvdh)


    The National Center for Microbiology (CNM) has confirmed this Friday night the first positive in Spain for the Wuhan coronavirus , which has already left 259 dead and more than 11,000 affected worldwide. The Ministry of Health has informed that it is one of five samples that it had received from La Gomera. The patient is admitted and isolated in the Hospital Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe on the island.

    The protocol was activated after an alert from the Ministry of Health so that two tourists who had been in contact in Germany with a patient diagnosed with a coronavirus 2019-nCoV infection were located in La Gomera. Once located, it was extended to three other people with whom they were living on the island, according to the Canarian Government, which added that the symptoms of all of them are mild.

    The first positive case of this disease in Spain has coincided with the return to the country of the 21 Spaniards trapped in Wuhan , who landed this Friday after 18.40 at the Torrejón de Ardoz airport in Madrid. All of them have arrived tonight in a bus to the Gómez Ulla military hospital in the capital, under the Ministry of Defense, where they will remain for 14 days on the 17th floor of the center. Health professionals have received a specific course to attend them.

    The case of coronavirus in Germany, which is at the origin of the contagion of La Gomera, surprises experts

    Faced with a contagion rate of 2 people for each infected, the Chinese woman who was in Germany has already caused at least 7-8 cases, although there are 5 that have occurred directly. In addition, it occurred when the Chinese patient showed still very mild symptoms of the disease.
