Re: "He began showing symptoms on Jan. 14 and was hospitalized on Jan. 25 before being diagnosed, according to the statement."Consider what this means:

The disease was being spread to other countries a minimum of three days before the United States began screening for Wuhan arrivals at its airports (January 17th). Since the disease has a 1-14 day incubation period during which it is transmissible, it is likely that it was spreading in Japan for quite a while - at least for the period between January 25th and whenever the driver actually contracted it.

And, did the tourists from Wuhan give the disease to other Japanese as well?

Was it spreading in the United States and other countries during that same period? Odds are that we'll know soon - though I question whether U.S. patients with coldlike symptoms are being screened for the disease even today unless they've disclosed some connection with Wuhan or China.

Person in Japan who has not visited Wuhan contracts coronavirus: ministry

by Reuters.com

TOKYO (Reuters) - A person in Japan who had not visited the Chinese city of Wuhan has contracted the new coronavirus, Japan’s health ministry said Tuesday.

The infected man is a tour bus driver in his 60s in the city of Nara, who had contact with visitors from Wuhan between Jan. 8-16, the ministry said on its website. He began showing symptoms on Jan. 14 and was hospitalized on Jan. 25 before being diagnosed, according to the statement.

Another man in his 40s who lives in Wuhan was also confirmed to have contracted the virus, the ministry said.

The new infections bring the total number of confirmed Japanese cases to six.
