Virus Erkrankungen steigen in China

January 28, 2020 - Die zunehmende Zahl von Toten in China durch die neue virale Krankheit sorgt für mehr Aufmerksamkeit rund um den Globus. Über 100 Länder überlegen ihre Staatsbürger aus Wuhan, der gesperrten Stadt im Zentrum von China, ausfliegen zu lassen.

China's death toll from the new viral disease rose to 106, including the first death in Beijing, the Chinese capital, and 24 others in Hubei province, where the first illnesses were detected in December.

The U.S. Consulate in Wuhan, where authorities cut off most access on Jan 22 in an effort to contain the disease, was preparing to fly its diplomats and some other Americans out of the city on Wednesday. Japan and South Korea said they would send planes to Wuhan this week to evacuate their citizens. France, Mongolia and other governments also planned evacuations.

China’s increasingly drastic containment efforts began with the suspension of plane, train and bus links to Wuhan, a city of 11 million people. That lockdown has expanded to 17 cities with more than 50 million people in the most far-reaching disease-control measures ever imposed.

There were 1,771 new cases of coronavirus confirmed in China on Monday Jan 27, raising the national total to more than 4,500, according to the National Health Commission. It said 976 people were in serious condition.

There have been more than 60 confirmed cases outside China, including the U.S., Australia, France and Germany.
