The Health Committee in the Chinese province of Hubei - the epicenter of the outbreak of the Corona virus - said it had registered 56 new deaths from the virus on Sunday, bringing the number of deaths to 360, while the number of infected people jumped to 14,380 infected.
Thus, "Corona" exceeded the number of SARS infections in 2003, with expectations of an increase in the number of infected people, especially in the city of "Wuhan".
The Chinese city of Wenzhou, located outside Hubei Province, imposed restrictions on the movement of its residents to contain the Corona virus. The Chinese central bank announced the allocation of about 170 billion dollars to combat the virus.
While the disease is expanding in China, the Philippines has announced its first death from the virus outside China, while countries such as South Korea, Vietnam, Germany and the United States have reported cases of human-to-human transmission.
Indonesian actions
Indonesia has decided to stop flights to and from China from next Wednesday, and no person from China will be allowed to enter or transit through the airports of Indonesia, whatever his nationality.
Indonesia has temporarily suspended the visa concession of Chinese citizens, and Indonesia has evacuated 238 of its citizens, most of whom are students in Wuhan.
The Indonesian authorities also imposed measures to monitor ships carrying goods from China, whether exporting to Indonesia or transiting through its ports.
On the other hand, French officials said that a plane carrying more than 250 people from thirty countries arrived in France Sunday from the Chinese city of Wuhan, and the plane landed in a military air base in Istres (southern France).
French Health Minister Agnes Bouzin said that symptoms of the emerging Corona virus appeared in about twenty out of 250 people who arrived on the plane.
The French minister said that 124 people will be transferred to their countries, and 64 French will be quarantined, whether in the holiday resort of Carrie Le Roy in the south of the country or a training center for firefighters near Aix en Provence.
