Wuhan is the capital of Hubei province in China and is the epicentre of the outbreak
Updated figures for the province as of the end of February 9. Very ugly numbers indeed.
- 2618 new cases on the day
- 91 deaths added to the toll
This takes the total number of deaths across China now above 900. National figures will be officially updated (as of end February 9) in a couple of hours time. Many people doubt the veracity of the data, saying both the number of cases and death toil is higher.

Masks are in short supply across Asia. China, Japan, you name it.
