As of Sunday morning, 14,380 people have been infected across China, the majority in and around Wuhan. Most of the 304 who died in the country were in that region, but officials have confirmed multiple deaths elsewhere, including in the capital Beijing. The Philippine Department of Health said a 44-year-old Chinese man from Wuhan was admitted on January 25 after experiencing fever, cough, and sore throat. He developed severe pneumonia, and in his last few days, ‘the patient was stable and showed signs of improvement, however, the condition of the patient deteriorated within his last 24 hours resulting in his demise.’ The man’s 38-year-old female companion, also from Wuhan, first tested positive for the virus and remains in hospital isolation in Manila.
