Health and Human Services have confirmed that two patients who were diagnosed with the AD14 Adenovirus strain have died in a hospital in Jade Harbor, on the same day that officials say the virus has appeared in "multiple clients" in Huntington Park, sparking fears of an epidemic. So far, officials have confirmed that a total of 15 people in Zamastan, including a Shuellian, have contracted AD14, but that there may be more people infected that are not accounted for. This has prompted concerns that the disease, which originated in a Shuellian coastal town, is spreading faster and is more deadly than anticipated. The first Zamastanian infected had attended the Shuell Olympics, and there is worry that the virus may be more widespread and not confined to just Zamastan and Shuell.

In the meantime, the fifteenth case of AD14 appeared in a Tofino home in a university student who had been in Shuell visiting friends. The man sought medical care after his return on January 30th, according to health officials, and he's been isolated since then. His few close contacts have been identified and are being monitored for symptoms.

The case poses no increased risk to other students on the university's campus, said Dr. Randaman Foni, medical director of the Tofino Public Health Commission, on a call with reporters on Saturday.

"He was very appropriate in seeking medical attention. He did not participate in any university activities from the time he arrived in Zamastan to his home," Foni said during the call.

The student is "doing quite well" and is quarantined at his home, which is not in a residence hall, Foni said. He is being monitored by public health nurses who call him regularly.

"We won't release him from isolation until we are satisfied it's safe to do so," said another doctor tending to the student.
