"The number who've died and the number affected continues to increase daily at a significant rate. The death toll is up around 20 percent on yesterday. Those who contracted this new type of coronavirus is up by near to 30 percent. Both of those according to official figures from the Chinese government. Although it is believed to be less deadly, this virus appears to be spreading more quickly than the SARS outbreak 18 years ago. More people have now been infected here."■
