Between Tuesday and Wednesday, the new coronavirus caused 52 new deaths in China. A total of 2,715 have died in mainland China since the start of the Hubei epidemic. These 52 new deaths, the lowest number in three weeks, are to be deplored in this province. Hubei also has 401 of the 406 new cases of contamination listed on Wednesday, according to the national health commission.

The coronavirus affects more and more countries, including in Europe: the Covid-19 disease now concerns, apart from China, more than thirty states where it has made more than 40 deaths and 2,500 contaminations.
