Coronavirus claims more lives as disease spreads

The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak has risen to 170.

A confirmed case in Tibet means the virus has reached every region in mainland China.

Chinese health authorities said there were 7,711 confirmed cases in the country as of January the 29th.

Infections have also spread to at least 15 other countries.

The world health organization will meet on Thursday to again consider whether the virus constitutes a global health emergency.
