Five more, including taxi driver infected in Thailand

Thai health authorities have confirmed five more cases of a new type of virus and say one of them is a taxi driver who is the country's first to become ill through human-to-human contact.
The new cases reported today bring Thailand's total to 19 cases. All of the others are Chinese visitors or people who traveled to Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak.
Thailand is a major destination for tourists from China, more than 10 million of whom visited the country last year.
Local spread of the illness is a growing concern because it suggests the virus can spread more easily, making it harder to contain. -AP
