CORONAVIRUS | The total number of confirmed cases in China rose about 30 percent to 2,744, about half of which were in Hubei.

| Chinese Premier Li Keqiang today visited Wuhan, the epicentre of an outbreak of a new coronavirus that has killed 80 and infected more than 2,700 people, as Beijing sought to signal how seriously it aims to respond to the developing crisis.

China's cabinet said yesterday that it would extend the week-long Lunar New Year holiday by three days to Feb 2 in a bid to slow the spread of the virus. The Lunar New Year is usually a time for millions of Chinese to travel, but many have had to cancel their holiday plans due to virus-related travel restrictions.

The newly identified coronavirus has created alarm because much about it remains unknown, such as how dangerous it is and how easily it spreads. It can cause pneumonia, which has been deadly in some cases. The World Health Organisation last week stopped short of calling the outbreak a global health emergency, but some health experts question whether China can contain the epidemic.
