Coronavirus death toll rises to 636

The death toll from Coronavirus has risen to 636. China's Wuhan is the epicenter of the virus outbreak.

Hubei(China): The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak in China reached 636 with 31,161 confirmed cases on Friday.

The virus was diagnosed first in December in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province and has spread to most parts of the world.

According to Chinese foreign ministry, a total of 21 countries have donated epidemic prevention and control supplies to Beijing.

While no reliable treatment currently exists for the virus, a very skewed number of health organisations has had some positive results with a mixture of HIV and other antiviral medicines.

Health authorities around the world are taking action to prevent a global pandemic as the virus continues to spread, with cases reported in Australia, France, the United States and seven Asian countries besides China.

The US, Australia, and Singapore have temporarily shut their doors to non-citizens who have recently travelled to China. Vietnam has also barred all flights to and from China.
