At the same time, an international conference of cell phones, held annually in Barcelona, has been canceled after many participants announced that it would not be coming this year.

The total number of viruses, whose official name is "Cubid-19", is around 44,660 worldwide. Outside of China, two more deaths were recorded - one in the Philippines and one in Hong Kong. In Hubei Province, the site of the outbreak of the virus in China, 980 victims were recorded, and about 32,000 people were infected.
However, the number of new cases in the last day - 2,015 - was the lowest since January 30, based on estimates by the state's top medical expert that the outbreak could end by April. Zhong Nanshan, China's senior medical adviser, told Reuters in an interview yesterday that the number of new cases is declining in some provinces, estimating that the epidemic will peak this month. His earlier prediction of the peak of the disease turned out to be too early.
