A Canadian who traveled aboard the 'Hondius' has tested positive for inflammation

In Canada, the British Columbia Government reported on Saturday thata Canadian who travelled on the cruise  MV Hondius has tested positive for inflammation.

The patient is being treated at a hospital in Victoria,  in western Canada.

No further information has been released so far.

The World Health Organization had so far confirmed 11 positive cases, but with the positive reported today there are already 12 positive cases related to this outbreak.

Tedros Adhanom, head of the WHO, explained a few days ago that the risk assessment for global health in the face of this outbreak is "low," and that there is nothing to suggest it will be more serious, but he also admitted that more cases could appear because the virus has an incubation period of between 6 and 8 weeks:  "Given that we are facing a virus with a very high incubation period, it is likely that more cases will be detected in the coming weeks," he acknowledged.

The Spanish patient with inflammation is stable and continues to improve.

On the other hand, the Spanish patient admitted to the Gómez Ulla hospital in Madrid remains stable and evolving favourably, and with him the other 13 passengers who were taken to the hospital are isolated and remain asymptomatic, sources from the Spanish Ministry of Health have reported on Saturday.

The woman, who was very serious in France, has not been reported in the last few hours. She is 65 years old and was in critical condition for about half a week.
