FIRST CASE IN EGYPT | FIRST CASE IN AFRICA

The COVID-19 coronavirus spread to a new continent on Friday with health officials in Egypt confirming the first recorded case in Africa.

Egypt’s Ministry of Health said the patient was a foreign national who had not showed any symptoms but had been identified based on travel patterns.

Khaled Megahed, a spokesman for the ministry, said laboratory tests had been conducted, the patient was quarantined in hospital and the World Health Organization (WHO) had been informed.

Meanwhile, China has ordered everyone returning to Beijing to enter quarantine for 14 days or risk punishment, according to state media. [Euro News]
 
UPDATE: Hong Kong kutoa ruzuku huku kirusi cha Corona kikichangia kudorora kwa uchumi.

Hong Kong Ijumaa ilitangaza ruzuku ya fedha kuzisaidia biashara ambazo zimeathirika kutokana na kuzuka kwa kirusi cha Corona katika mji ambao tayari unakumbwa na kushuka kwa uchumi.

Vita vya kibiashara kati ya Marekani na China pamoja na miezi kadhaa ya maandamano ya kupigania demokrasia mwaka jana, tayari vilikuwa vimeusukuma uchumi wa eneo hilo la kibiashara katika viwango vya chini.

Kirusi hicho kimeongezea katika masaibu hayo na kupeleka kupungua kwa idadi ya watalii wanaowasili katika eneo hilo huku biashara ndogo zikifilisika. [DW]
 
Hapo awali; Kifo cha kwanza cha COVID-19 nchini Japan.

Siku ya Alhamisi Japan ilitangaza kifo chake cha kwanza cha virusi vya corona ambacho alikuwa mwanamke mwenye umri wa miaka 80 ambaye alikuwa akiishi Kanagawa kusini magharibi mwa mji mkuu wa Tokyo.

''Mwanamke huyo alipatikana na virusi hivyo baada ya kifo chake na kwamba hakuwa na uhusiano wowote na mkoa wa Hubei nchini China ambao ndio chanzo cha mlipuko wa corona'', vilisema vyombo vya habari vya Japan.
 
UPDATE: Uganda kuwatumia dola elfu 60 ($60,000) wanafunzi wake waliokwama Wuhan China.

Serikali ya Uganda imesema kwamba inatuma dola elfu sitini ili kuwasaidia wanafunzi wake waliokwama katka mji wa Wuhan nchini China uliotengwa kufuatia mlipuko wa virusi vya corona.

Raia wa Uganda wameanzisha kampeni chini ya alama ya reli Evacuate Ugandas in Wuhan {waondosheni raia Waganda mjini Wuhan} kufuatia ushuhuda wa wanafunzi waliozungumza kuhusu kukosa chakula na vifaa kama mask za usoni.

Mamlaka inakadiria kwamba kuna takriban raia 105 wa Uganda mjini humo ambao ndio chanzo cha mlipuko wa virusi vya corona.

Waziri wa afya nchini Uganda aliambia bunge, takriban dola elfu sitini zimetumwa ijapokuwa haijulikani kila mwanafunzi anapata pesa ngapi.

Fedha hizo zitatumwa kwa njia ya kielektroniki kwa simu zao.

Serikali inadai kwamba kuwarudisha nyumbani raia wake kutoka Wuhan kunaweza kusababisha maambukizi hayo kufika Uganda huku ikiongezea kwamba miundo mbinu ya taifa hilo haiwezi kukabiliana na mlipuko wa ugonjwa huo.

Kama mataifa mengi vipimo vya virusi hivyo vimewekwa katika uwanja wa ndege . Na abiria wanaowasili kutoka China wametakiwa kusalia nyumbani kwa wiki mbili kama tahadhari.

Hatahivyo kumekuwa na maswali kuhusu mikakati iliowekwa na serikali huku kukiwa na ripoti kwamba watu wanaingia nchini humo bila ya ukaguzi wa kiafya kufanywa. [BBC]
 
UPDATE: Korea Kaskazini.

Siku ya alhamisi wizara ya maswala ya nchi za kigeni nchini Marekani ilisema kwamba ilikuwa ina wasiwasi kuhusiana na athari za mlipuko huo nchini Korea kaskazini, ambayo kufikia sasa haijaripoti kisa chochote.

Marekani imesema kwamba itatoa usaidizi katika taifa hilo kulingana na wizara hiyo. [BBC]
 
FAHAMU: Pamoja na kwamba wagonjwa kadhaa wamepata nafuu kutokana na virusi vya Corona lakini inasemekana kuwa wanaweza kuambukizwa kwa mara nyingine tena.

Na endapo wataambukizwa tena, basi wako hatarini zaidi kuliko maambukizi yao ya mara ya kwanza.

Exclusive: Chinese doctors say Wuhan coronavirus reinfection even deadlier

It’s possible to get infected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a second time, according to doctors on the frontline in China’s city of Wuhan, leading to death from heart failure in some cases.

The claim is made by doctors working in the Hubei Province capital that is at the center of the epidemic.

According to the message forwarded to Taiwan News, “It’s highly possible to get infected a second time. A few people recovered from the first time by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart tissue, and when they get it the second time, the antibody doesn’t help but makes it worse, and they die a sudden death from heart failure.”

The source also said the virus has “outsmarted all of us,” as it can hide symptoms for up to 24 days. This assertion has been made independently elsewhere, with Chinese pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan saying the average incubation period is three days, but it can take as little as one day and up to 24 days to develop symptoms.

FAHAMU: Matatizo pamoja na changamoto katika vipimo pia hazikosekani.

Baadhi ya watu wamekuwa wakipimwa zaidi ya mara moja na wengine hadi vipimo sita (6) ndipo kubainika kuwa na maambukizi ya virusi hivyo.

According to the BBC and other media outlets, some laboratory tests are incorrectly telling people they are virus-free. There is also anecdotal evidence of people having up to six negative results before being diagnosed correctly.

Dr. Li Wenliang first raised concerns about this. His own test results had come back negative multiple times before he was finally diagnosed.

False negative tests raise question marks over how many people have the Wuhan coronavirus, with many believing the Chinese authorities have massively underreported the number of cases and deaths.

Meanwhile, the official methodology for diagnosing the virus in China was changed this week, leading to a sudden leap in the number of recorded cases and deaths.
