death toll rises to 717 dead in China

The new coronavirus has so far left 717 people dead in China, where it appeared last December, health officials in central China’s Hubei Province announced.

This figure is higher than the number of people who died of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, atypical pneumonia) – around 650 – in the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong in 2002-2003. In addition, 2,841 additional cases of contamination were officially registered in Hubei, bringing the total number of patients to more than 34,000.
