By Victoria Hudson.

It is the darkest day for China since the beginning of the coronavirus epidemic. According to the latest data, published on the night between Thursday and Friday, the new death toll from respiratory problems related to the virus has reached 43, the highest number recorded so far, bringing the total to 213.

With about 2 thousand new confirmed infections, the total is close to 10,000 people, passing the number of Sars’ cases between 2002 and 2003.

While the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the epidemic a “global health emergency”, international isolation from China is growing.

Italy, where have been registered 2 cases, currently is the only country to have completely blocked air traffic to and from China, but the United States now advise to not travel in the People's Republic while Japan has announced that will no longer let infected individuals enter its territory.

At the moment, according to WHO numbers, there are no signs that the quarantine imposed on Wuhan and the Hubei region is having positive effects. Of the 43 deaths recorded since the last survey, 42 are in the infection epicentre province and 30 in the capital.

Over 100,000 people are under medical observation in the country with suspicious symptoms.

After a week's delay, the WHO emergency committee yesterday declared the coronavirus a "global health emergency". The general director of UN agency general pointed out that the decision was not taken for distrust of Beijing, but to protect the weakest and most exposed countries.

The head of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva said that the coronavirus epidemic will have negative consequences on the world economy in the first quarter of the year, but that it is still early to quantify the loss.

During the Sars peak, Chinese growth slowed by two points, although in the following quarters it rebounded fairly quickly. After two sessions with heavy losses, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange opened positively.
