Here is a look at the trend of the coronavirus outbreak in China. On Wednesday, nearly 2,000 new cases were confirmed, which brought the total number of nationwide cases to 7,711. On January 28, this figure exceeded that of the SARS outbreak in 2003, which was just over 5,000. However, a somewhat positive trend can be seen as the number of recoveries catches up. An increase of 99 cases have recovered, bringing the total number of cured patients to 124 compared to nine days ago.
