Coronavirus | China reports rise in cases, most from abroad
The HinduChina reported on Saturday a rise in new coronavirus infections, mostly in travellers arriving from abroad, as doctors in the central city of Wuhan, where the virus initially emerged, warned its behaviour was still not well-understood. “We can't say that there is no such potential risk,” said Wang Xinghuan, president of Wuhan's Leishenshan hospital, its second built especially for virus patients. The National Health Commission said 46 new cases were reported on Friday, including 42 from abroad, up from 42 a day earlier, as Hubei province, whose capital is Wuhan, reported no new cases for a seventh successive day. Provincial health officials said all the new imported cases also involved such instances, though the province had one new local case in its capital, Harbin. Elsewhere, Inner Mongolia had a daily tally of 27 new imported cases by Saturday morning, also all from Russia, the region's health authority said.
