| The death toll linked to a fast moving viral outbreak sweeping China has risen to 426 – most in China’s Hubei province, the epicenter of the illness – with just shy of 20,000 cases worldwide, Chinese state TV reported. | |
| Another 2,345 cases were confirmed in Hubei by Tuesday, as the novel coronavirus surpasses the scale of the SARS outbreak of the early 2000s and health authorities around the world continue to take aggressive steps to contain its spread. | |
| Of the 426 confirmed fatalities, all but one have occurred in Mainland China, with an additional death in the Philippines involving a Chinese national who traveled from Wuhan, the city where the virus was first observed. | |
| Beyond China, some 155 cases have been confirmed across at least 25 nations, many of them in Asia, including Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand, as well as in the United States, France, England, Russia and elsewhere. | |
| Despite the climbing disease toll, the number of recoveries has surpassed the deaths. Over 500 patients have bounced back from the illness in China, with several other patients recovering in Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Australia. Officials in Taiwan also announced on Sunday that a “cocktail” of HIV and other flu medicines led to a speedy recovery for one patient in the span of 48 hours. | |
