LONDON - An outbreak of pneumonia that has killed one person in China and infected 40 others appears to be linked to a single seafood market in the central city of Wuhan and has not so far spread beyond there, the World Health Organisation said on Sunday .
"The evidence is highly suggestive that the outbreak is associated with exposures in one seafood market in Wuhan," the WHO statement said, adding that the market was closed on Jan 1. The WHO said last week that a newly emerging member of the"coronavirus" family of viruses that caused the deadly Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreaks was the likely cause of the outbreak.
