Coronavirus: Global emergency declared

According to NSW Health advice, people are now at risk of catching the virus if they spend a quarter of an hour in close contact, such as a face-to-face conversation, or two hours in the same confined space with an infected person. And now Chinese health authorities have confirmed that, contrary to earlier belief, patients are contagious even before they develop symptoms. This means that potentially thousands of people could have been exposed to the coronavirus in Australia by the country's nine confirmed patients alone.
=======================================
No New Zealand patients have been diagnosed and there are no suspected cases, according to the Ministry of Health.
=======================================
Four people in Sydney, three in Melbourne and two on the Gold Coast have contracted the deadly virus in recent weeks. NSW Health has so far tested 50 people that have returned negative results, and 20 more are under investigation. In Queensland 44 people are being tested. At least a day passed after they arrived before they developed flu-like symptoms and went to hospital. So far it is believed to be spread by a droplet in a cough or a sneeze, similar to how influenza is passed on. "Coronavirus may not be the easiest infection to get but it can be transmitted in several ways," he said. It could also be spread via contaminated surfaces if someone touches their nose or mouth after touching a surface that has been coughed or sneezed on by an infected person.
The disease has killed 170 people and infected more than 7500 in China.

Dear Amar, 10th Feb 2020

You have been an absolute pleasure to work with in relation to sale of our property.

You have worked with us not as a Sales agent but just like how a family member would work for us.

We being in Australia you made sure every aspect of the sale was covered professionally, legally, judiciously and in a timely manner be it marketing, advertising, liaising with potential buyers, liaising with tenants liaising with lawyers, reporting weekly updates from open homes!! Everything was attended to effortlessly.

We did not even have to come to Auckland. The sale was finalised so smoothly and every step of the way you were readily available that is why the result was success.

We are privileged and blessed to have Sold our property through you. Thank you
Can't thank you enough.

Warm Regards
Rajesh and Sonali
