2月19日 武漢肺炎 愛爾蘭 重點綜合報導 19 Feb 2020 Coronavirus in Ireland news summary

一位傳染病教授說，不可避免在愛爾蘭會有人被確診冠狀病毒的。

過去兩週在日本的一艘遊輪上被隔離的人已經開始下船，但不知道愛爾蘭乘客是否在其中。

船上共有六名愛爾蘭人，而其中兩人的冠狀病毒測試呈陽性, 即是確診。

這兩名居住在國外的愛爾蘭公民正在日本醫院接受治療。

馬特醫院傳染病學教授約翰·蘭伯特博士說，這裡 (愛爾蘭)很可能會有病例，但不太可能蔓延。

A professor of infectious diseases says it is inevitable that someone in Ireland will be diagnosed with coronavirus.

It comes as people who were quarantined on a cruise ship in Japan for the past two weeks have begun to disembark but it iss not known if the Irish passengers are among them.

Six Irish people were on board altogether while two tested positive for coronavirus.

The two Irish citizens, who are living abroad, are being treated in hospital in Japan.

Professor of Infectious Diseases at the Mater Hospital, Dr John Lambert, says it is likely there will be a case here, but it is unlikely that it will spread.
