The only fatalities outside the mainland were a Chinese man in the Philippines and a 39-year-old man in Hong Kong.

With 86 more people dying in mainland China the highest one-day jump so far the toll was closing in on the 774 killed worldwide during the 2002-2003 SARS epidemic.

Nearly 35,000 people have been infected by the new strain, which is believed to have emerged in a market selling wild animals in Wuhan last year before spreading across China. With panic spiralling around the globe more than 320 cases have emerged in nearly 30 other countries -- researchers are racing to find treatments and a vaccine to fight the virus.

The SARS epidemic left profound psychological scars and saddled residents with a deep distrust of authorities in Beijing who initially covered up the outbreak. China has expanded its own measures far from the epicentre, with cities hundreds of kilometres from Hubei telling residents that only one person per household can leave the house every two days to buy supplies.
