As the death toll in mainland China jumped by 73 to 563,with more than 28 000 infections, President Xi Jinping sought to reassure his citizens and the world that China would beat the coronavirus.

Li had told a group of doctors on Chinese social media about seven cases he saw and posted a picture of a test result in an effort to help other doctors. In Hong Kong, another cruise ship with 3 600 passengers and crew was quarantined for a second day pending testing with three cases on board.In China, sometimes dubbed the world’s workshop, cities have been shut off, flights cancelled and factories closed, cutting off supply lines crucial to international businesses.Companies including Hyundai Motor Co, Tesla Inc, Ford Motor Co, PSA Peugeot Citroen,Nissan Motor Co Ltd, Airbus, Adidas and Foxconn are taking hits.

Indonesia said it stands to lose $4 billion in tourism if travel from China is disrupted for the whole year. And stock markets across the world rose, buoyed by record highs on Wall Street and a move by China to halve tariffs on some US goods that emboldened bets the global economy would avoid long-term damage from the virus.

One Chinese official said the crisis could be nearing it speak, with just over 1 300 patients discharged from hospital,although the number of new patients diagnosed with coronavirus was still rising.
