The World Health Organisation said it is in ongoing contact with authorities in China over an unidentified outbreak of viral pneumonia at a seafood wholesale market, reports South China Morning Post.
Wuhan health authorities on Tuesday said 27 people – most of them stallholders at the Huanan seafood wholesale market – had been treated in hospital, with seven said to be in serious condition. Pathology tests were underway to try and identify the virus, officials said. Hong Kong medical authorities were also on alert.
Wuhan authorities ordered the closure of the market on Wednesday. Local media said the market sold other animals, including birds, raising concern after the 2002-03 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, in China killed several hundred people and is thought to have jumped from animals to humans.
Officials in China and at the WHO said the virus in Wuhan had yet to be identified.
