Coronavirus : First death reported outside China
BBC reported that the death was recorded in the Philippines. The patient was a 44 years old Chinese man from Wuhan, in Hubei province.
His death was confirmed shortly after the Philippines announced that it will halt the arrival of foreigners coming from China. The country has also begun a contact tracing of persons who might have been in contact with the patients since they arrived in the country.Since the beginning of the outbreak, more than 300 people have died from the disease, most of them in the Hubei province. However, this is the first death reported from the disease outside China.
According to the Chinese government on Saturday, at least 304 people have died and 14,380 people have been infected across the country. The statement also condemned the action taken by the US in barring Chinese citizens from entering the country.“The Chinese government has released information and shared data with the US and the rest of the international community in a timely, transparent and responsible manner. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Many countries have offered China help and support through various ways.
