TOKYO - .
A Chinese woman in her 20s, who had previously stayed in Wuhan and was studying in Kyoto, was also found to be infected, broadcaster NHK said.The two people who were confirmed as infected but had not shown symptoms were the first such cases in Japan, though suspicion has been rising elsewhere that people who have the virus but no symptoms can infect others.
Shigeru Omi, head of the Japan Community Health Care Organization, told a briefing that there were reports of such transmissions in China. Among Japan's cases was a tour bus driver who was infected after coming into contact with Chinese visitors.
