908 dead, more than 40-thousand cases of coronavirus confirmed in China

中 신종코로나 사망자 900명, 확진자 4만 넘어서

Elsewhere, China reported over 9-hundred deaths and more than 40-thousand confirmed cases as of Monday.
Things are also not looking so good in Japan either, with at least 60 additional confirmed cases reported onboard the cruise ship docked at the Yokohama port.
Our Eom Ji-yeong reports.
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 24 hours 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,... bringing the number in China to more than 40-thousand.
On a brighter note, the number of new cases has stabilized in recent days.
Other areas of China, except for Hubei Province, have seen a downturn in the number of newly confirmed cases for five days in a row.
New cases across the rest of China 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.
Japan remains on alert as well.
At least 60 more people on the Diamond Princess cruise ship docked at the port of Yokohama tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
This brings the total number of confirmed cases on the vessel to 130.
About 3-thousand-7-hundred people have been quarantined since last Monday, after it was found that a passenger who disembarked in Hong Kong on January 25th was infected.
Tokyo is hesitating to include the number of confirmed cases on the ship to the total cases in Japan,...as it would make Japan the country with the second highest number of confirmed cases after China.

The kits to confirm are limited, they are not counting the deaths who were not tested for NCOV.

[MrBillU]

Thanks for reporting as much as you can. Thanks for allowing comments.

[Hamigal]

Definitely not being honest about stats.

[karakol]

That is about an average of 100 deaths per day for the last two days.

[llchase]

There's a manipulation of the numbers going on. The main reason the "New Cases " are lower is because they're limiting the number of test kits to all the hospitals. No way they can give us accurate numbers, if more people are turned away from getting tested. The U.S. is still downplaying this story and saying we are still at "Low Risk". But, I don't believe that, especially when I see how it is spreading elsewhere. Quarantined Cruise ships and hospitals being built in 10-days time? Economic disruption? We won't see the last of this for quite some time.

Like a 20k jump in one day?
We already know they are hiding the numbers.

[MrBillU]

They're not even reporting on the news in Australia anymore.😡

[laizethehaze]

They said in the video that Tokyo, Japan is hesitant to confirm the amount of cases on the ship because the amount of cases in Japan would make it the second highest amount of cases compared to China ....

[albertgarcia]

[bobbyg]

[ezaddinharun]

More like 4, 000, 000 cases n 90, 000 deaths

[athorpe]

We know the numbers are totally different than whats told. This is scary.

[LD-ghqr]

Is time to slow down the cases after 5-10 days.

[devinethankgod]

God save China people from this virus, this is getting too much, oh I feel badly for the little children their, Lord have mecry on your children.

[TheUltimateRare]

yeah and japan struggles with number of people as it is. an outbreak like this would only hurt them more.

[jennytan]

Singapore has the highest number of confirmed cases.

Latest updates report Chinese exports have virus 🦠 residue.

The numbers coming out of China is not credible. It is much much worse. It has already been reported by Chinese citizens that health officials do not have enough testing kits, not enough doctors and nurses and medical supplies to treat the infected. One million infected will be coming folks! Thanks CCP!!!
