<p>The overall number of deaths in the country, which has been largely closed down to prevent the outbreak’s spread, rose to 1,113</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The National Health Commission said 2,015 new cases had been reported over the last 24 hours, representing a second day of decline.</p>
<p>The total number of cases is around 45,000 globally.</p>
<p>In Japan, 39 more people on a quarantined cruise ship have tested positive for Covid-19, the country’s health ministry said.</p>
<p>There are now 169 confirmed cases on the Diamond Princess, quarantined in the port of Yokohama, near Tokyo, among its 3,711 passengers and crew.</p>
<p>The coronavirus has spread to two dozen other countries, having only been identified late last year in the Chinese city of Wuhan.</p>
<p>The fatality toll has passed the 774 people believed to have died of Sars, another viral outbreak that originated in China.</p>
<p>And the total confirmed cases of the new virus vastly exceed the 8,098 sickened by Sars.</p>

<p>There are no licensed drugs or vaccines to treat it, though the World Health Organisation has convened a group of experts to fast-track treatment options to help slow the outbreak.</p>
<p>Experts, however, say it could still be months or even years before any approved treatments are developed.</p>
<p>In China, businesses are reeling from anti-disease measures that have closed shops, restaurants and factories and disrupted travel.</p>
<p>At least 60 million people in the central part of the country are in a government-ordered lockdown aimed at halting the spread of the virus.</p>
