New type pneumonia confirmed the first infected person in Australia January 25 13:17

In a new coronavirus that is spreading in China, Australian state officials announced earlier this month that a 50-year-old Chinese man arriving in Melbourne was confirmed to be infected. This is the first time an infected person has been identified in Australia.

According to health officials in Victoria, southeastern Australia, a Chinese man in his 50s who lives in Wuhan, Hubei, China and is visiting Melbourne has been infected with the new coronavirus.

The man had arrived in Melbourne via Guangzhou on March 19 to visit his relatives, and was later sick and consulted a hospital.

Currently, she is isolated at a hospital near Melbourne, and although she has pneumonia, her condition is stable.

This is the first case of a new coronavirus infection in Australia.

In neighboring New South Wales, five people are currently being tested for suspected infection.

The Australian government has strengthened its quarantine posture at Sydney Airport and has increased its vigilance last night by raising its vigilance on travel to Hubei to the highest of four levels, "No Travel."
