For its part, the Chinese health authorities announced that the number of people infected with the Coronavirus in Wuhan, the city hardest hit by the disease, in central China has decreased to zero.

"This result was achieved by arduous efforts of medical workers in Wuhan as well as those who were sent to help it in its fight against disease from all over the country," said a spokesman for the Chinese National Health Committee at a press conference in Beijing.

In Russia, 66 deaths were recorded during the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths to 747, while 6,361 new injuries were recorded, increasing the number to 80,949.

In Belgium, 809 new infections were recorded, bringing the total number of HIV infections to 46,134, in addition to 178 deaths, bringing the total deaths to 7094.

In the Philippines, the Ministry of Health confirmed seven new deaths, bringing the total death toll from the virus in the country to 501, while 285 new infections were recorded, bringing the number of confirmed infections to 7579.

On the other hand, German Foreign Minister Haikou Maas criticized the desire of European countries to open their borders to tourists as soon as possible, warning that "this may involve unacceptable risks."

"We have already seen what can lead to the emergence of a hotbed of infection in a tourist site ... it should not be repeated," Maas told the German magazine Bild, noting that "the European race to determine who will be the first to allow tourist trips leads to unacceptable risks."
