6,000 Quarantined On Italian Cruise Ship; Virus Spreads To The Philippines & India

No cases of the virus have been confirmed in the UK so far, though there have been a handful of scares.

Update: Following several unconfirmed scares, India has confirmed its first case of the novel coronavirus.

Reports out of Atlanta claimed that more than 20 passengers had been quarantined at Hartsfield-Jackson airport as they undergo advanced screening for the virus.

In other news: The Philippines has also reported its first case: A 38-year-old female Chinese patient who arrived from Wuhan via Hong Kong on Jan. 21.

National health officials in Beijing announced their biggest one-day jump in virus deaths and hundreds of new cases early Thursday morning, but since then, things have been quiet.

A map of cases hasn't yet reflected the suspected cases in Italy.

Globally, the virus has already effectively tied SARS for the number of confirmed cases, though if skeptical epidemiologists are correct, the true number of cases has already far surpassed the total for SARs.
