SEOUL/SINGAPORE, Feb 5 (Reuters) – An international business gathering at a plush Singapore hotel has been linked to coronavirus cases that have spread across the region, in a worrying sign of secondary transmissions from an epidemic that originated in China. Malaysia on Tuesday said its first citizen to be infected with the virus – a 41-year-old man – had attended a meeting in Singapore in mid-January that had included several international delegations, some from China. A 38-year-old Korean who came into contact with the Malaysian when he travelled to Singapore for a business conference has also been infected, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said on Wednesday.
