The spread of the MARS virus infection naturally caused a huge uproar. Apart from Chen Yu, who was forewarned due to his relationship with Kube Rokuro, as a national research institution, UDI also notified the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, which issued a warning across the entire Tokyo area.
"It says online that there are 82 people confirmed to have had direct contact with 30-something male A and 20-something female B, and the number of indirect contacts can no longer be counted... It's truly frightening!" In the office, Nakagawa Susumu was browsing online discussions about the incident and couldn't help but exclaim, "Thank goodness UDI discovered it in time, otherwise if the virus spreads, turning into a large-scale epidemic like the SARS crisis in China, that would be terrible."
