Giulia Marchi/The New York Times News Service

The World Health Organization tweeted: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Li Wenliang. We all need to celebrate work that he did” on the virus. China’s National Health Commission said the number of infected patients who were “discharged and cured” stood at 1,153. No details were given, but milder cases have been seen in younger, healthier people.The youngest patient is a baby born Saturday in Wuhan and confirmed positive just 36 hours after birth, authorities said.

The new virus is in the coronavirus family that includes MERS and SARS, and it causes fever, cough, shortness of breath and, in severe cases, pneumonia.A 1,500-bed hospital specially built to deal with the outbreak was completed in Wuhan, days after a 1,000-bed hospital with prefabricated wards and isolation rooms began taking patients.

In Hong Kong, hospital workers demanding a shutdown of the territory’s border with mainland China were on strike for a fourth day. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam announced a 14-day quarantine of all travellers entering the city from the mainland starting Saturday, but the government has refused to seal the border entirely.Two docked cruise ships with thousands of passengers and crew members remained under 14-day quarantines in Hong Kong and Japan.

A Chinese doctor who was reprimanded for warning of early coronavirus cases has died after falling ill with the virusLi was detained by Wuhan police for rumour-mongering and then released by Wuhan police on Jan. 3 after signing a document acknowledging he committed ‘illegal acts’ The CCP forced him to write a self-criticism, disavowing his original coronavirus alert. I hope that the CCP is destroyed. Chinese communist officials cannot be trusted! Why do you feel the real story has not come to light? Do you think that it's because so many countries have people in China and are afraid that they will be held in a sense hostage if any 'true' reporting is done?
