Corona .. Talk about "Sarah" news and death toll has exceeded the number of SARS victims

The new Corona virus has killed 813 people, including two in the Philippines and Hong Kong, in a toll that exceeds the global toll from the SARS epidemic, but the World Health Organization said it sees a stable number of new infections as "good news."

The new Corona virus - which appeared in December in a market in central China's Wuhan - has caused 89 additional deaths in the last 24 hours in China (without Hong Kong and Macau), which is the largest number of deaths in a single day as a result of the epidemic, according to the Health Committee announced National.

And 81 of the deaths occurred yesterday in the central province of Hubei, where the majority of cases are concentrated, while a record "rare" deaths occurred in Wuhan, the provincial capital, which witnessed the first outbreak of the disease.

Some parts of mainland China are subject to quarantine. The death toll from the disease has reached 813, in addition to the death of one person in Hong Kong and another in the Philippines.

The number of confirmed cases Sunday in China reached nearly 37 thousand two hundred, or 2,600 new cases compared to the previous daily toll.

Thus, the death toll has exceeded the number of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) deaths that killed 774 people worldwide in 2002 and 2003.

The WHO considered Saturday that the number of new infections recorded daily in China has become "in a state of stability", pointing out at the same time that it is too early to say that the epidemic has passed its peak stage.

Michael Ryan, director of emergency health programs, said that his organization has been recording a period of stability for four days, as the number of reported cases has not increased, which he considered good news and may be a reflection of the impact of the control measures taken.

The number of suspected injuries also decreased, reaching Sunday just over 3,900 in the last 24 hours, compared to more than 5,300 in the toll announced Thursday.

In late January, one of China's leading respiratory experts, Jong Nanshan, estimated that the epidemic could reach its climax around February 8 before it began to decline.

Corona is a family of viruses, but only six of them infect humans, and the new virus is the seventh member of this deadly family.
