One month ago, the number of new coronavirus cases reported in a single day in China was around 3,000. Now, it’s down to just 40.

For weeks, official Chinese statistics have shown the epidemic losing steam, dropping below 1,000 new infections daily on February 21 and below 100 over the weekend.

Of these 40 new cases reported on Sunday, four were imported cases reported in Gansu province while the remainder were all reported in Hubei province, the epicenter of the Covid-19 virus outbreak.

China also reported only 22 new deaths on Sunday. The lowest that tally has been since very early in the epidemic

You can compare those figures to coronavirus numbers from other countries around the globe at the moment:

In Italy, the death toll has surged by more than 50 percent to 366 with the government now planning to lockdown large areas of the country’s north.

South Korea has confirmed 96 more new cases, bringing the national total to 7,478.

Germany has confirmed another 256 new cases, raising the country’s national total up to 1,112.

In France, the coronavirus total is now up to more than 1,100 with 19 deaths.

There are now 565 reported coronavirus cases in the United States.

With the vast majority of new coronavirus cases now being reported outside of China, the Chinese government is taking steps to contain the threat of more imported cases.

Those arriving in China from countries badly hit by the coronavirus will now be put in quarantine for 14 days, a measure that is a bit ironic considering that it wasn’t so long ago that Beijing was complaining about other countries placing restrictions on travelers arriving from China.
