Taiwan confirms its first coronavirus death, as toll climbs to 1,665 inside mainland China
A woman wearing a protective face mask receives a temperature check from a security guard as she enters Qianmen Street, a popular tourist spot, in Beijing, Sunday, February. 16, 2020.
It is the fifth recorded death outside mainland China –– previous victims were in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan, and France. Taiwan did fly 247 people from Hubei's capital Wuhan on mainland-owned China Eastern Airlines flight on 3 February.The relationship between the two is complicated by the fact that Beijing views Taiwanese people as its own citizens, not as foreign nationals.The coronavirus, thought to have emerged at a wildlife market in the central Chinese province of Hubei, has killed hundreds in China with latest figures showing 68,500 cases of the illness.
In hardest-hit Hubei, the number of new cases slowed for a third consecutive day and at 139, the number of deaths was level with Saturday's toll.Mi Feng, National Health Commission spokesman, said on Sunday that the figures were a sign that China was controlling the outbreak. Katsunobu Kato warned the nation was "entering a new phase" in the outbreak of the virus, which has infected nearly 60 people in Japan so far.
The evacuation came as Japanese authorities stepped up warnings over the deadly outbreak, urging citizens to avoid crowds and "non-essential gatherings."
