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.
