We have listed the previous case here:

#695 - Patient, reported January 5 - probable January case, hospitalized, Ningbo, Zhejiang province

 

[Biological100]

#706 - Male, 55, onset December 21, critical, Hong Kong CHP announced 2 cases on January 11, 2016. One of the cases is already listed above (#695), Ningbo, Zhejiang province WHO rpt 5/2/16


.... Case 706 is there any media or gov reports stating that age or date because it appears to be a disparity. This is the CHP report concerning the 55yo... even thou it is the reporting date rather than the onset date note by WHO!



Clarification would be appreciated. [TABLE="border: 1, cellpadding: 7, cellspacing: 0"]

The CHP and WHO do not always have the same information posted for the same case. Sometimes there are typos on age, date, etc. Neither entity ever corrects.
