New 'Sars-like' coronavirus identified by UK officials
By Michelle Roberts Health editor, BBC News online, September 2012
A new respiratory illness similar to the Sars virus that spread globally in 2003 and killed hundreds
of people has been identified in a man who is being treated in Britain. The 49-year-old man, who
was transferred to a London hospital by air ambulance from Qatar, is the second person confirmed
with the corona virus. The first case was a patient in Saudi Arabia who has since died. Officials are
still determining what threat the new virus may pose.
