Bus Tour Guide In Osaka Infected With Coronavirus
Japan's health ministry officials say a female bus tour guide living in Osaka has been confirmed infected with the new coronavirus.
This is the eighth confirmed infection in Japan.
The officials say the tour guide in her 40s tested positive for the virus on Wednesday.
They say she complained of symptoms, including fever and a cough, before going to a clinic. She is currently hospitalized.
They note she was on a bus with tourists from Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. It was driven by a driver in his 60s from Nara Prefecture who was confirmed infected on Tuesday.
As the tour guide did not travel abroad in the past month, health officials believe it likely that she was infected in Japan.
