The Chinese province at the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak reported a record rise in the death toll on Thursday, as global health experts warned the epidemic could get far worse before it is brought under control.
It was not immediately clear how the new methodology affected the results, nor why the death toll rose so sharply. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned any apparent slowdown in the spread of the epidemic should be viewed with”extreme caution”.Another expert said that while the coronavirus may be peaking in China, this was not the case elsewhere.
Tedros said a WHO-led advance team that travelled to China this week had made good progress on the composition and scope of its work. Plane-maker Boeing said airlines were facing a fall in profits as the crisis reduces passenger demand and prolongs weakness in economically sensitive air freight.
