– The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak in mainland China reached 1,770, up by 105 from the previous day, China’s National Health Commission reported on Monday.

Across China, there were 2,048 new cases of coronavirus infections confirmed, about 1,933 from Hubei alone, pushing the new total to 70,548, the Commission said, noting that around 9,419 people recovered since the epidemic was discovered.

“It’s impossible to predict which direction this epidemic will take,” Head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, adding “we are concerned by the continued increase in the number of cases in China.”
