A communication from the Ministry of Health of Egypt reported that there is a patient infected with the new Wuhan coronavirus. He is a foreign citizen, but his nationality has not yet been specified. Local media speak of a 33-year-old Chinese. The arrival of the coronavirus in Africa complicates the situation because the health systems of the various countries of that continent in many cases have flaws (but this is not true for Egypt, the experts specify); the connections between Italy and Africa are numerous. On a world scale, the number of infected yesterday was at 64.452, with 1.383 deaths. The vast majority are in China and Hubei province.
According to the World Health Organization, there is no significant change in the spread of the epidemic. A team of WHO experts, writes Il Messaggero, is on a mission these days to China to work with local colleagues on possible treatments.
Meanwhile in Beijing they are experimenting with the use of plasma from recovered patients for therapy on patients infected with the new coronavirus. Other pathologies, in the past, have been treated in this way.
In China there are thousands of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the name of the virus) then recovered from Covid-19, the current Coronavirus. The Chinese authorities have asked those who have recovered to donate blood and this form of experimentation is underway.
