    There are various types of corona virus, which usually results in the common cold, but in rare cases can also cause more serious infections of the respiratory tract.
    The new coronavirus has been found in patients abroad who have traveled to Saudi Arabia or Qatar, and the new virus belonging to the same group as the SARS coronavirus.
    - Therefore, we are currently researching patients for the new type of coronavirus - and also for a wide range of more common causes of respiratory infection. We expect answers to tests for coronavirus tomorrow afternoon on 26 september, says directorJens Peter Steensen. - Until then, we maintain isolation measures about patients who otherwise are generally well-being and not acutely ill.

              The hospitalized man's family has also also been hospitalized. It is about a woman and two children. A total of five people that is in the hospital.

                  Re: Denmark - Hospital confirms 5 suspected new coronavirus patients - Odense

                  So combining all the above posts, it seems that we have a man who travelled to the Middle East, his wife (who did not travel), 2 of their children (who did not travel), and an unrelated female who also travelled to the Middle East.

                  Seeing that 3 of the 5 cases did not travel to an affected area (and all have gotten ill almost simultaneously) that argues for a diagnosis other than the novel coronavirus. The simultaneous timing may even be suggestive of influenza.

                      Re: Denmark - Hospital confirms 5 suspected new coronavirus patients - Odense

                      Five persons showing symptoms of infection from a SARS-like virus have been admitted to Odense University Hospital (OUH), central Denmark, the hospital said in a press statement Tuesday.

                      The five patients are currently being examined for symptoms of infection from a new corona virus, which can lead to severe respiratory disease.

                      Corona viruses are a large family of viruses including those which cause the common cold, as well as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), an outbreak of which killed some 800 people in 2003.

                      The new corona virus is thought to have an incubation period lasting seven to 10 days, and has previously been found among patients who had traveled from Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

                      OUH Director Jens Peter Steensen said to Danish media late Tuesday that the five patients, who are all Danish residents, will be tested for the new corona virus and for a range of more common triggers of respiratory infection.

                      The results of these tests will be released Wednesday afternoon, Steensen said, adding the patients will be kept in isolation until then.http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2..._15783052.htm?

                          A total of six people is now in isolation in Denmark. Study must now disclose whether they actually are infected with Corona virus. Once a patient is sent in "high-risk isolation 'in Denmark. A family of four and a woman held currently in complete isolation in Odense University Hospital.
                          And now confirms Hvidovre Hospital, that there also has been a patient in the so-called "high-risk isolation '.
                          It happens in all cases for fear that patients have the dangerous Corona virus, which is related to the so-called SARS virus.
                          Corona may, according to Statens Serum Institut, cause serious respiratory illness and can at worst be fatal. http://jyllands-posten.dk/indland/article4852749.ece?

                            Hvidovre Hospital has admitted a patient at high risk isolation. He feared to be the sixth in Denmark, which may be infected with the SARS-like Corona virus.

                            Danes sudden high fever, coughing and difficulty breathing after traveling to the Middle East, to be extra attentive, because it may indicate that they are infected with the dangerous SARS-like Corona virus. Hvidovre Hospital has now admitted a man in high-risk isolation for fear that he may be infected with the virus.

                            - We got a patient in yesterday, and right now, we are waiting for answers from the samples in order to find out whether he is infected with the virus or not, says communications director at Hvidovre Hospital, Hanne Alsbirk.

                            The man is thus the sixth Dane suspected infected. A family of four and a woman are already admitted to Odense University Hospital (University Hospital).

                            The patient at Hvidovre Hospital, like the other patients admitted to University Hospital, was on a trip to the Middle East, where there are more cases of the dangerous virus. The virus was recently found in a patient from Saudi Arabia, who died after a serious lung disease.

                            According to Statens Serum Institut, the new Corona vius cause serious respiratory diseases, and it belongs to the same virus group as the dangerous SARS virus back in 2002 and 2003 affected 8,000 people worldwide and required about 800 deaths.

                            Hanne Alsbirk from Hvidovre said they expect to get answers from tests that will show whether the hospitalized patient is infected with the virus, Wednesday afternoon. The same message comes from senior consultant at the Department of Infectious Diseases at University Hospital, Svend Stensvang Pedersen.

                            - Samples were sent a taxi to the Statens Serum Institut Tuesday evening, and they are just in the process of investigating them. We expect to get an answer about at 15 pm Wednesday, he said.

                            People who have been in Qatar or Saudi Arabia, and within 10 days of home diet have a fever or respiratory symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath or trouble breathing, called the Statens Serum Institut website to cash doctor immediately telephone.

                            New coronavirus-update) Two isolated in Denmark below five
                            (12 mins ago)

                            Two of the five persons showing symptoms of infection from a new coronavirus, are under five years old, a Denmark hospital said today. All of them are Danish residents and have been isolated.

                            Chief physician Svend Stenvang Petersen of Odense University Hospital told AFP that test results are expected in the afternoon, local time.
                            ?The five have a fever, coughing and influenza-like symptoms,'' he said.
                            Petersen said those admitted were a family of four. The father had been to Saudi Arabia, while and an unrelated person had been to Qatar. Two of those with symptoms were under the age of five.

                            ?We have put them in isolation because we don't know how the virus spreads. So just as with bird and swine flu we have admitted them and isolated them so that we prevent the spread to others,'' Petersen said. ?We do not have any medicine that works against this virus.??

                            Corona viruses are a large family of viruses including those which cause the common cold, as well as severe acute respiratory syndrome, an outbreak of which killed some 800 people in 2003.
                            The new corona virus is thought to have an incubation period lasting seven to 10 days, and has previously been found among patients who had traveled from Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
                            Earlier, Xinhua reported that the hospital director Jens Peter Steensen told Danish media that the five patients, who are all Danish residents, will be tested for the new corona virus and for a range of more common triggers of respiratory infection.
                            On Monday, the Danish Health and Medicines Authority advised persons who had traveled to Qatar or Saudi Arabia to seek medical advice if they experienced fever, cough or difficulty breathing within ten days of their return from these countries.
                            It followed a warning from British health officials who alerted the World Health Organization on Saturday of the new virus found in a man transferred from Qatar to the UK on September 11.
                            The 49-year-old man, who is being treated in an intensive care unit at a London hospital for problems including kidney failure, had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia, where another man with an almost identical virus, had already died.

                            New coronavirus not SARS: Thomas Tsang
                            September 26, 2012
                            The genetic structure of the new strain of coronavirus and the SARS coronavirus is different, and should not be mistaken to be the same virus.

                            This was the message from Centre for Health Protection Controller Dr Thomas Tsang today, telling the media that, genetically, the new coronavirus found abroad recently is different to the SARS coronavirus that struck Hong Kong in 2003.

                            SARS belongs to family 2B of the coronavirus family, while this new infection belongs to group 2C.

                            However, he said the Government still needs to implement considerable health measures to safeguard the public, as little is known about the new virus. It has stepped up surveillance measures to detect any cases that come up in Hong Kong.

                            ?We have sent guidelines on infection control and hygiene to numerous institutions, including the tourism industry, airlines, schools, hospitals, and also our frontline staff, so they know exactly how to handle potential cases.

                            ?We also have a plan to make this new coronavirus a notifiable disease under Hong Kong law so we will be able to use legal instruments in implementing appropriate control measures against this new virus.?

                            He said the Government is aware of the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage, which will see many people travelling to the Middle East next month. It has been contacting consulates and religious groups to ensure health advice gets to these travellers so they can take precautions against infection.

                            Mr Tsang said the Government Laboratory is able to test for the new virus, as the virus sequence has been outlined by UK health authorities.

                            ?If we have a sample, it will take us about two days to come up with a positive result.?

                            The Government is aware of media reports of five patients in a Denmark hospital being tested for the new coronavirus, he said, adding it will study the results when they are issued.

                            Airports on alert for new SARS-like virus
                            MANILA, Philippines ? Airports are now on alert for the possible entry of a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like virus that may have come from the Middle East.
                            Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 Quarantine Head Dr. Ali Agama said they were alerted after the World Health Organization released information that a 49-year-old male Qatari who had just travelled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) showed symptoms last September 3.

                            Five people have been hospitalized for observation for Corona virus at Odense University Hospital.

                            Samples from the five hospitalized is being under increased at Statens Serum Institut. So far it is known that is not on the five are infected with the dangerous virus.

                            - From a probability given, then it is very unlikely that they have it, assess Svend Stensvang Pedersen.

                            If the tests prove to be negative, then they will, according to senior consultant Svend Stensvang Pedersen, be discharged later today.

                            - I hope we get answers to tests in the afternoon, but I do not know for sure whether the samples have arrived, because we sent them in a taxi last night. I'll check up on them a little, but I think immediately that we first get answers to tests after three o'clock, says Svend Stensvang Pedersen, senior consultant at Department of Infectious Diseases at University Hospital.

                            Corona virus has broken out in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. So far, three were infected, one of which is dead. The virus is a SARS-like virus, the extent is not yet known completely.

                            Four of the hospitalized is a family where one parent came home from Saudi Arabia with flu symptoms. The past has no relation to the family.

                            - They all slept well all night, and they're fine now.

                            So far, they remain in isolation on infectious diseases ward at University Hospital.
