The three evacuees raise the number of cases in Japan so far to 11, including two people who appear to have contracted the virus without traveling to China.

"In addition to the eight cases, among the people who returned from Wuhan yesterday, infection (with the new coronavirus) has been confirmed in one person with symptoms and two other people who have no symptoms," Health Minister Katsunobu Kato told parliament.

The new cases come after authorities on Wednesday confirmed a second instance in which a person tested positive for the virus without having traveled to Japan.

The driver told authorities he had driven two groups of tourists from Wuhan earlier in January and developed symptoms afterwards.

"The eighth case is the second suspected incident of human-to-human transmission in Japan," Kato said.

"We are in a truly new situation."

[h=1]Outbreaks of patients (14th and 15th cases) and asymptomatic pathogen carriers (*) related to the novel coronavirus[/h]
(*) Asymptomatic pathogen carriers are those who have no symptoms but have a positive PCR test

Yesterday (January 31), a Japanese national who returned on a charter flight (third flight) from Wuhan City conducted a new coronavirus test at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases at 15:00 today. There have been two reports of infectious diseases associated with the disease. One of the two cases (the 14th patient) was one of 15 patients who had symptoms upon close examination at the National Center for Global Health and Medicine (NCGM). Another case is asymptomatic pathogen carrier.

In addition, one of 12 Japanese who returned to Japan on a charter flight (first flight) from Wuhan on January 29 and was admitted to a medical institution reported a negative test for a new type of coronavirus in one case of viral pneumonia. A medical institution judged that the possibility was high, and at 15:00 today, an additional test for a new coronavirus was conducted at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and a positive result was reported (15th patient).

These individuals were returned to Japan on a charter flight from Wuhan City, and a new coronavirus was detected as a result of PCR. We will carry out proactive epidemiological investigations on this matter, including the identification of close contacts.
