China has reported new deaths by a viral outbreak have risen by 73 in the past 24 hours.
That brings the number of confirmed cases to 28,018, an increase of 3,694.
The little-understood new coronavirus has spread fear around the world, along with the shunning of any suspected to have a link to the outbreak that appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December and has revived fears of the deadly 2002-2003 outbreak of SARS.
SARS had killed almost 800 people.
