This is the second such case on the mainland. It involves a man who travelled from Canada, and arrived in Beijing on Flight AC-029 on May the 8th. The man traveled to Jinan, the capital of Shandong, by Train D-41 on May the 11th. Health authorities in Shandong have conducted tests on virus specimens taken from the patient.
