<p>Chinese authorities also reported the number of new cases has fallen for the third straight day to 2,009.</p>

<p>The number of people infected globally stands at 68,500, according to the country’s National Health Commission.</p>
<blockquote><p>1,665 Death toll from Covid-19 in mainland China.</p></blockquote>
<p>Since the outbreak began in December, it has spread to more than 24 countries and prompted sweeping prevention measures from the Chinese government, including a lockdown of cities with a combined population of more than 60 million.</p>
<p>Many countries have also placed travel restrictions on recent visitors to China.</p>

<p>After Chinese President Xi Jinping played a muted public role in the early days of the epidemic, state media published on Saturday a speech President Xi delivered on February 3 in which he said he gave instructions on fighting the virus as early as January 7.</p>
<p>The disclosure indicates top leaders were aware of the outbreak’s potential severity well before such dangers were made known to the public.</p>
<p>It was not until late January that officials said the virus can spread between humans and public alarm began to rise.</p>
<p>In his speech, the Chinese president also revealed that he ordered a lockdown of the virus epicenter of Wuhan in the Hubei province: “On January 22, in light of the epidemic’s rapid spread and the challenges of prevention and control, I made a clear request that Hubei province implement comprehensive and stringent controls over the outflow of people.”</p>

<p>On January 23, Wuhan became the first city to impose an unprecedented halt on outbound transportation.</p>
