China Reports Fewer New Cases of Coronavirus

VOA News

   Chinese health officials said Sunday that the number of new cases of
   the coronavirus has slowed for the third consecutive day.

   The health commission confirmed 1,843 new cases, representing a drop
   from higher numbers of new cases in recent days. Over the previous two
   days, China had reported more than 7,500 new infections.

   The death toll from the virus in mainland China hit 1,665, with 142
   deaths reported Sunday. National Heath Commission spokesman Mi Feng
   said Sunday that the percentage of "severe" cases was dropping, and
   that the trends showed that China was succeeding in controlling the
   outbreak.

   But the World Health Organization warned Sunday that it will be
   "impossible to predict which direction this epidemic will take."
