China Reports 3rd Death, 136 New Infections, Due to Viral Pneumonia
Chinese authorities on Jan. 19 reported one new death as a result of a viral pneumonia. Also, another 136 patients were infected, raising the global number of infections to more than 200.
That is the largest increase since the virus first emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in late December.
The pneumonia disease has killed three so far, all from Wuhan.
The Imperial College London’s Medical Research Council Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis released a report on Jan. 17, in which researchers estimated that 1,723 people in Wuhan could potentially have the illness.
The calculation was based on the number of infection cases outside of China, the number of passengers at the Wuhan airport, daily international passengers flying out of Wuhan, and the number of days before the international cases are discovered.
