Coronavirus: two cases still worrying, the results of tests expected
11/05/2013 1:51 p.m.
Two people who were in contact with the patient with the novel coronavirus, virus close to SARS are still susceptible to be contaminated: his former roommate at Valenciennes and a member of his family.
The man who shared the patient's room for four days, while the respiratory disease had not been detected, is hospitalized in the infectious disease Lille University Hospital. For him, "further investigations are needed," said the Ministry of Health.
The family member in question, a young man was allowed to remain at home in isolation. All test results should be reported on Saturday afternoon.
Three members of the medical staff - a doctor of Valenciennes, two members of the hospital Douai - whose cases were cause for concern, are out of danger and were able to return home. One hundred and twenty-four people in total have been identified in the environment of the patient, at the University Hospital of Lille, in the ICU and in the hospital where he had previously stayed at Valenciennes and Douai.
The health status of the patient "has stabilized but remains serious," according to Professor Daniel Mathieu, head of the intensive care unit. "It is likely that we will not see a favorable outcome for at least 48 to 72 hours," he said at a press conference.
The Lille University Hospital is the only facility in the region practicing the medical care necessary for his health. The patient needs a cardiopulmonary support to take over its respiratory functions.

His former roommate at Valenciennes continues to see himself administer "fairly aggressive" antibiotics, according to Professor Benoit Guery, the Infectious Diseases department of the Lille University Hospital.
The Minister of Health, Marisol Touraine, visited Saturday morning both services welcoming patients taking both their new and those caregivers. Before the Board of the former neighbor of hospital beds, which includes an airlock to install a system of protection and prevent communication between air systems, it instructed the nurse to send its greetings recovery and support.
"The need to remain vigilant," then said the minister at a press conference.
Ms. Touraine announced the establishment of an information system at international airports for travelers to the Arabian Peninsula. A leaflet, whose message has been prepared by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and of Health, will be distributed to airline counters. It is particularly recommended to take precautionary measures, such as washing hands regularly, but especially avoid contact with animals.
