CHINA: Worth noting this via the Global Times re: Hubei Province virus count:
- "It has become the most urgent task for the epicenter of the highly contagious
virus that has caused over 70K infections nationwide to adopt the strictest
measures to contain the virus spread, given the actual numbers of infections
remain unknown & mandatory self-quarantine policies are considered less
efficient, which had not completely stopped human-to-human transmission. Delayed
reaction and slow response at early stage of the outbreak also made the task
even more challenging now. Authorities in Wuhan, epicenter of the deadly novel
coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) in Central China's Hubei Province, made a final
call to mobilize local residents to take part in prevention & control work as
the deadline for screening all confirmed & suspected infections loomed on
Wednesday, while any local off'l who fails to finish the task will be held
accountable. Wang Zhonglin, Wuhan's new Party chief, said that all the urban
districts should provide accurate data of total infections as of midnight
Wednesday. "Without knowledge about how many infected patients there are in the
city, we can't win this battle against epidemic."
