All seven cases involve Chinese nationals, with the three new cases includes a four-year-old child (currently treated at Langkawi), a 52-year-old man (under doctor’s surveillance in Johor Bahru) and a mother of two kids whom previously had confirmed to be infected.

The infectious and health-threatening virus which started in the capitol of Wuhan in China’s Hubei province has since spread to more than 10 other areas with United States, France and Australia included.
