BEIJING (AFP): China reported 29 more deaths on Thursday (Feb 27) from the new coronavirus epidemic, the lowest daily figure in almost a month, and the number of fresh infections rose slightly.
The daily tally of fatalities has fallen for three straight days now, hitting the lowest mark since Jan 29, when 26 new deaths were reported.
The commission reported 433 new cases, with all but 24 in central Hubei province, the epicentre of the outbreak that first emerged in December in its capital, Wuhan.The number of new infections outside Hubei had been falling steadily in the past week, but it went back up from five on Wednesday. While Hubei remains under lockdown, cities in the rest of the country are slowly returning to work, though schools remain closed and Beijing requires people returning to the capital to go into 14-day self-quarantine. - AFP
