BREAKING: South Korea reports 87 more cases of the new virus, most from Daegu and nearby areas, bringing country's total to 433.

Medical workers wearing protective gears carry a patient infecting with a new coronavirus to a hospital in Chuncheon, South Korea, Saturday, Feb. 22, 2020. South Korea on Saturday reported a six-fold jump in viral infections in four days to 346, most of them linked to a church and a hospital in and around the fourth-largest city where schools were closed and worshipers and others told to avoid mass gatherings.

In some positive news, China said Saturday the daily count of new virus cases there fell significantly to 397, though another 109 people died of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus. Most of the new cases and all but three of the deaths were in Hubei province, where the outbreak started. The central government has declared the area as a “special management zone” and is channeling support to ease a shortage in hospital beds, medical personnel and equipment.

Officials are also investigating a possible link between churchgoers and the spike in infections at the Cheongdo hospital, wheremore than 110 peoplehave been infected so far, mostly patients at a mental illness ward. Health and city officials say the woman who first tested positive had contact with some 1,160 people, both at the church, a restaurant and a hospital where she was treated for injuries from a car accident.

Lies. All lies!

Means it's in the desolate north Korea, too. Won't ever see those numbers.

nice t-pose

Yall mind if I T Pose

Lol, I always believe Chinese media. Most reliable source in television

Hopefully they take a few pages out of the China book when dealing with the coronavirus

Didn't know T-posing was a symptom of this.

How is this even possible? Chinese government really doing a top notch effort!

schubertiade14 Moon administration is totally lunatic, insane, and incompetence. The main factor of the failure in preventive measures against COVID_19 is President Moon himself.

Korean Still gathering on the street

Japanese media not reporting?

Drop today, tomorrow double that. China is lying and hiding the actual numbers. Death rate is at 50,000

Somebody should have to answer for this bioengineered weapon.

棒棒也沦陷了

China's got this under control. Nice.

doctors and nurses providing nursing care to people with such a severe infection carries risks, and I hope they will stay safe and well ,while they carry out their duties so selflessly

Yet North Korea reports 'zero' cases still, lol

China always lies. Like the 'hospital'/prison they built in 10 days that the whole world was mesmerized by but was a horrible failure in the end.

The other 3546 infected have probably disappeared...
