The first case of the coronavirus has been confirmed in Sweden, health authorities said on Friday.
A patient at the Ryhov County Hospital in Jönköping, central-southern Sweden, has tested positive for the coronavirus, the Public Health Agency of Sweden confirmed.
The patient is a woman who landed in Sweden on January 24th after visiting the Wuhan area in China. At that point she had no symptoms, said the agency.
“The department said passengers that became symptomatic and those with positive tests on the flight from Japan to Lackland were isolated on the flight and did not deplane in San Antonio when it landed at around 3:50 a.m.
Those passengers were taken to Omaha, Nebraska.”
