China’s coronavirus case jumped to 4515, death toll at 106

According to latest update from China’s National Health Commission, confirmed cases of coronavirus in China jumped to 4515 as of January 27, up from 2835 reported a day earlier. Death toll also rose to 106, up from 81. Asian markets continue to trade in deep risk aversion as the outbreak of coronavirus shows no sign of slowdown. At the time of writing, Nikkei is down -0.85% and Singapore Strait Times is down -2.59%. China and Hong Kong remain on holiday.

The coronavirus also continues to spread to other places in the world. Germany has confirmed the first case late on Monday, in the town of Starnberg, 30km southwest of Munich. The health department said the patient is in “good condition” and isolated under medical observation. Also, “people who have been in contact (with the patient) have been informed in detail about possible symptoms, hygiene measures and transmission channels.”

The US Centers for Disease Control said yesterday that the number of “patients under investigation” in the U.S. has almost doubled from the 63 reported on Thursday, to 110. The agency increased its travel warning for all of China, asking people traveling to practice “enhanced precautions.”
