Iranian new coronavirus patients having mild symptoms

The two Iranian students who tested positive with the new coronavirus infection on Wednesday have mild symptoms and no fever, Janos Szlavik, head of the infectology department of St. Laszlo Hospital, told public broadcaster M1 on Thursday. The cases are isolated and the two young men do not know each other, Szlavik said, noting that one of them had returned from Iran to carry on with his studies on Feb. 22, while the other arrived on Feb. 28. Hospital staff are now working to find people they have been in contact with, Szlavik said, adding that their partners have also been isolated and are being tested.
