Philippines reports first coronavirus death outside China

BEIJING/MANILA - The Philippines on Sunday reported the first overseas death from the growing epidemic of a coronavirus that originated in China, where new confirmed infections jumped by a daily record to top 14,000 cases.

The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak in China had reached 304 as of the end of Saturday, state broadcaster CCTV said on Sunday, citing the country’s National Health Commission. The World Health Organization on Thursday declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern, but said global trade and travel restrictions are not needed.

The Philippines also expanded its travel ban to include all foreigners coming from China, widening an earlier restriction that covered only those from Hubei. In Mexico, ride-hailing application Uber Technologies Inc said it suspended 240 accounts of users in Mexico who may recently have come in contact with someone possibly infected with the virus.The number of deaths in Hubei from the outbreak had risen to 294 as of the end of Feb. 1, with a total 9,074 cases, the majority in the capital Wuhan, where the virus is thought to have emerged late last year in a market illegally trading wildlife.

Hubei has been under virtual quarantine for the last week, with roads sealed off and public transport shut down. The province extended its Lunar New Year holiday break to Feb. 13 in a bid to contain the outbreak.

In Peru we have been I formed that a Peruvian woman died in Los Angeles where she lived. She would be the second.

Most important piece of information is missing: when did he come to the Philippines and how many people has he potentially Infected? And are they actively retracing his close contacts there?

Every time I hear/read of another person dying from this horrific virus just sickens me ❗️

So Philli is infection-free now?

Too many Chinese everywhere

This virus is really snuffing out lives early, hope something can be done to prevent its spread.

Like this guy... In his business suit. coronovirusoutbreak

1st death outside China simply means health provider is very lapse and unable to contain the virus unlike other nations with more that 3 to 10 cases able to save all..because DOH in the 1st place don’t have the tools to identify one not until Japan helped

More to panic, fear and selfishness is worse than virus

Thanks BillGates
