It is reported by TASS.

“Yes,” the committee said in response to a question about the reliability of data on a third person hospitalized with suspected coronavirus.

RIA Novosti reported similar information to a representative of the city administration of Rospotrebnadzor.

“The third case, which was registered late last night, is a Chinese citizen who arrived in St. Petersburg as part of the group on January 20. Feeling unwell, she turned to the first-aid post at the hotel, after which she was hospitalized at the Botkin Infectious Disease Hospital, ”the source said.

Earlier, the press service of the Ministry of Health of Russia said that two passengers from Pulkovo airport who were suspected of 2019-nCoV were excluded from the diagnosis of coronavirus.

In late January, it became known that in the Chinese city of Wuhan, dozens of people fell ill with an unknown form of pneumonia. It was later reported that a new type of coronavirus was the cause of the outbreak of viral pneumonia of unknown origin.

Various states of the world have already taken measures in connection with the appearance of this virus. For example, airports in the United States, Britain, Russia and several other countries began to check arriving passengers for a new type of coronavirus, but 2019-nCoV continues to spread around the planet and even infect doctors.

According to the latest official data, only in China the number of infected people reached the mark of 617, and two cities are already isolated due to the coronavirus.
