China's President Xi Jinping calls for 'decisive measures' to tackle coronavirus outbreak as number confirmed infections climb over 42,600
Chinese President Xi Jinping wears a white coat and a face mask as he visits coronavirus patients at a hospital in Beijing on February 10, 2020.
The fatalities soared after hardest-hit Hubei province -- the epicentre of the outbreak, reported another 103 deaths on Tuesday, the highest single-day toll since the virus emerged. He appointed Premier Li Keqiang to lead a group tackling the outbreak and it was Li who visited ground zero in Wuhan last month.
Video footage showed Xi having his temperature taken with an infrared thermometer then speaking with community workers and waving at smiling residents leaning out of apartment windows. "When customers come in, we first take their temperature, then use disinfectant and ask them to wash their hands." Ahead of the team's arrival, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned there had been some "concerning instances" of cases overseas in people with no travel history to China.Aboard the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship moored off Japan, another 65 people were diagnosed with novel coronavirus, the health ministry said, bringing the total number of known infections on the ship to 135.
