106 Deaths, 4295 cases (1291 New)
Holy crap.
And that is only the ones they know about/admit to.
BEIJING: Experts of the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have successfully isolated the novel coronavirus in the environmental samples of a seafood market in Wuhan, indicating that the virus stems from wild animals on sale at the market.
Thirty-three of the 585 environmental samples collected from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market were found to contain the nucleic acid of the novel coronavirus, according to the National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention under the China CDC.
Earlier reports quoted experts as saying that the geographical distribution of the cases indicated a close relationship between the epidemic and the seafood market.
Thirty-one of the 33 positive samples were collected from the western zone of the market, where booths of wildlife trading concentrated. The result suggests that the outbreak is highly relevant to the trading of the wild animals, experts said. — Xinhua
