A third patient in Britain has contracted a new SARS-like virus, showing the deadly infection is being spread from person to person, health officials said.

The latest case, in a man from the same family as another patient, brings the worldwide number of confirmed infections of the new virus - novel coronavirus (NCoV) - to 11.

Of those, five have died. Most of the infected lived or had recently been in the Middle East.

NCoV was identified when the World Health Organisation (WHO) issued an international alert in September, saying a virus previously unknown in humans had infected a Qatari man who had recently been in Saudi Arabia.

The virus belongs to the same family as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), a coronavirus that emerged in China in 2002 and killed about a tenth of the 8,000 people it infected worldwide.

Symptoms common to both viruses include severe respiratory illness, fever, coughing and breathing difficulties.

Britain's Health Protection Agency (HPA) said the latest patient, who is a UK resident and does not have any recent travel history, is in intensive care at a hospital in central England.

"Confirmed novel coronavirus infection in a person without travel history to the Middle East suggests that person-to-person transmission has occurred, and that it occurred in the UK," said John Watson, the HPA's head of respiratory diseases.

He said the new case was a family member in close contact with another British case confirmed on Monday and who may have been at greater risk because of underlying health conditions.

The WHO said although this latest case showed evidence of person-to-person transmission, it still believed "the risk of sustained person-to-person transmission appears to be very low".

Confirmed cases
Coronaviruses are typically spread like other respiratory infections such as flu, travelling in airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Yet since NCoV was identified in September, evidence of person-to-person transmission has been limited.

Professor Watson said the fact it probably had taken place in the latest two cases in Britain gave no reason for increased alarm.

"If novel coronavirus were more infectious, we would have expected to have seen a larger number of cases than we have seen since the first case was reported three months ago."

The WHO said on Monday that the confirmation of a new British case did not alter its risk assessment but "does indicate that the virus is persistent".

Among the 11 laboratory confirmed cases to date, five are in Saudi Arabia, with three deaths; two are in Jordan, where both patients died; three are in Britain, where all three are receiving treatment; and one was in Germany in a patient from Qatar who had since been discharged from medical care.

The WHO said at this stage there is no need for travel or trade restrictions or for special screening at border points.

海关应该对进入中国的英国人进行隔离观察,以防再次引入中国
这里是中国网站,不要单方面使用他国语言。违反我国语言文字法
大致内容翻译,可能不够准确:

一种新型的疑似sars的冠状病毒,最初的病例出现在中东卡塔尔和沙特地区。英国几位旅行者回国后出现疑似症状,并且出现了非旅行者感染的病例,HPA表示英国国内已经出现家庭内部接触传染,但是并没有广大扩散,仍然为孤立的个例。WHO也表示,该种病毒的人群间传染能力很低。英国的研究人员表示不需要提高警报级别,理由是病毒并未大面积传播和爆发。已被实验室确诊的11名病例中,在沙特阿拉伯有三人死亡,两例在约旦并且患者死亡。在英国发现的三例已经接受入院治疗,一位在德国的来自卡塔尔的感染者在接受治疗后已经出院。WHO表示在现阶段没必要限制旅行或贸易,或是在边境检查站上实施特殊扫描。

PS:从文章的内容看,应该只是一次小范围的感染,而且不同于之前的SARS的病毒,感染没有扩大的迹象,对中国来说没有实际的感染风险,入境管理稍加注意即可。
得尽快取得样本,分析有何变化。
