France on Thursday confirmed a sixth case of infection by the novel coronavirus from China.
Director General of Health Jerome Salomon told reporters that a doctor was diagnosed with the virus after being infected by a patient.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is concerning. France has an excellent health care system. The doctor presumably knew s/he was dealing with a Wuhan virus patient. S/he presumably used appropriate personal protective equipment. Yet, they still got infected.
Very little informaiton is available the case. For the safety of health care workers around the world, detailed information on how this doctor got infected  needs to published immediately. One hopes that French authorities will not try to hide this information
