China hardens virus defences as death toll hits 56

China has locked down the hard-hit province of Hubei in the country's centre in an unprecedented operation affecting tens of millions of people to slow the spread of a respiratory illness that President Xi Jinping said posed a"grave" threat.

Originating in Hubei's capital of Wuhan, the virus has spread throughout China and around the world, with cases confirmed in around a dozen countries as distant as France, Australia and the United States. The flight departs Wuhan on Tuesday for San Francisco, it said in an email to Americans in China, while warning of"extremely limited" capacity for private citizens.

China would normally be celebrating the Lunar New Year holiday this week, but Wuhan's eery quarantine calm deepened on Sunday as new restrictions banned most road traffic in the metropolis of 11 million."Do not believe in rumours. Do not spread rumours. If you feel unwell, go to the hospital in time," the message said.

And these Chinese going to spread all the world this nonsense virus of theirs bcoz they like to travel for no reason
