Over in China the novel coronavirus has taken over 900 lives.
As of Monday, there's been more than 40-thousand confirmed cases.
Eum Ji-yeong has the updates.
According to China's National Health Commission on Monday,...the death toll in China is now over 9-hundred, with 97 deaths recorded in the country in the past day alone.
This is the first time there have been more than 90 recorded deaths in a single day.
Ninety-one out of the 97 were in Hubei Province, the epicenter of the outbreak.
There were also some three-thousand more confirmed cases across China,... bringing the total number in China to more than 40-thousand.
On a brighter note, the number of new cases has stabilized in recent days.
New cases across the rest of China, except for Hubei Province reportedly stayed at some 5-hundred a day as of last Friday,...compared to around 800 last week.
The most recent data from Chinese authorities also showed new cases outside Hubei Province as of Sunday stood at some 4-hundred.
However, anxiety remains as millions of Chinese are set to return home following the end of the Lunar New Year holiday,... which was extended to February 9th.
In order to curb the spread of the disease any further, residential areas in China's 4 largest cities, including the capital Beijing, went into lockdown.
Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said on Monday only cars and people that have certificates to prove they are residents will be able to enter the residential areas.
