2. Guangdong Wen sisters (9 month or [0.75] and 2 year old) one hospitalised in Central Hospital of Jiangmen and the other in Zhuhai hospitals

media reports both discharged from Oi Pok [sp.] Paediatric hospital on 12-Feb-15

#543 - Female, 1, hospitalized in stable condition, Zhongshan, Guangdong province

#552 - Female, 2, diagnosed February 6, hospitalized in stable condition, Zhongshan, Guangdong province

At first media was reporting that kinship was not explained and then media follow up clarified that they were sisters exposed to common source, live bird market- visited with grandmother


3. Fujian unknown due to reporting!

I'll post supporting media/CDC later on the Wen cluster!
