France has just recorded a new case of infection of the Sars like virus that is believed to be developing in the Arabian peninsula.
The new case is a patient who shared a room with the first person infected with the virus, who had been hospitalized last week.
He is now in intensive care, after he fell severely ill.
He had been in the same hospital room with the 65 year old man who had been the first recorded case in the French city of Lillie.
Both patients now are in isolation wards.
Since September, 30 cases of the novel virus have been recorded, and 18 of them have succumbed to the disease.
Although human to human contagion was not suspected at first, this new case is without a doubt an indicator of the virus' virality.
