The sixth case was discovered after five days and has also come back from Italy. It was reported that the old man experienced hypertension and was in a critical situation before confinement. During the hospitalization, his condition returned to normal.

He recommended everyone to follow the proper hygiene and should frequently wash their hands.

A piece of news about the Grand Princess ship was about a patient who has acquired the coronavirus and died was on board and visited the ports of Mexico. There a total of three cases discovered by the health officials related to the cruise ship.

Dr. José Luis Alomía Zegarra, an epidemiologist, denies the allegation and said the patient did not pass through or visited Mexico. He stated that even after the cruise has ended, there were no cases of the virus discovered. However, the health officials of the Sinaloa state have reported otherwise. They said that the cruise ship with the patient on board passed through Mazatlan on February 17.

The health officials of the state wanted to get in touch with health officials of the United States so the actual travel history of the patient could be thoroughly investigated. They want to confirm whether the dead passenger has stopped in Mazatlan and went to places and restaurants in the vicinity to eat and tour the state.

The total cases of the epidemic of the coronavirus has reached more than 100,000 around the world. 3,400 patients have already died because of the virus
