Walsh contracted pneumonia after attending a conference in Singapore and is believed to have spread the new strain of corona virus (nCoV) to 11 others after arriving at a ski resort in France on his way home to Hove, county. East Sussex.
5 cases of nCoV infection related to Walsh lived in the UK, 5 others were in France and the remaining one was in Mallorca, Spain. Authorities are urgently looking for people who may have been infected.
He currently records eight positive cases with nCoV, of which two new cases are thought to be general practitioners, including one at the Oak County Medical Center in Brighton, East Sussex. This center is temporarily closed.
In a statement from Guy Hospital, Walsh thanked the British National Health Service for taking care of him, and expressed sympathy for those infected with nCoV. He contacted private doctors and health authorities after learning he had been exposed to a case of nCoV.
Many Britons expressed anger and demanded that officials provide information about Walsh after learning of a "super-transmitted" citizen. However, the British Public Health Agency declined to disclose the travel history details of this person for 5 days before the onset of symptoms.
