Two new cases of coronavirus-related pneumonia have been diagnosed in Beijing for the first time.

The two patients have a history of traveling to Wuhan City where most of the recent cases have occurred.

They were admitted to a hospital in Daxing District of Beijing and diagnosed after extensive testing. 

They are currently being treated in isolation from other patients.

They currently have no respiratory symptoms and are in stable condition, officials said.

Doctors have also studied people the two patients have come in close contact with, and have seen no abnormalities such as a fever. 

As of Jan. 19, 10 p.m. local time, there were 198 diagnosed cases of the coronavirus in Wuhan. Twenty-five people have been released from hospital, and three people have died, according to the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission.
