China Virus Cases Almost Double Overnight, Deaths Top 100 As North Korea Closes Border

According to the Health Commission of Hubei Province, there was a massive jump in cases and deaths overnight in China.

KCNA reports that North Korea has officially closed its border crossing with China to prevent Coronavirus from entering the country.

During the CDC press conference on Monday the State Department announced an updated travel warning advising US citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to Hubei province, where the virus is believed to have originated, and to take necessary precautions when traveling in China.

Minutes ago, the president tweeted that the US had offered China "Any help that is necessary", while advising that the US is "Strongly on watch" for signs that the virus is spreading.

Health officials have confirmed 2,804 cases in China, where the deal toll has climbed to 80 - giving the virus a roughly 5% mortality rate.

Almost all of those workers have already returned home, threatening to spread the virus across China's impoverished rural areas where awareness of prevention strategies is minimal.

Several neighboring countries announced precautions to prevent the virus from crossing over from China: Mongolia has closed all educational institutions until at least March 2, and has closed its border with China to all pedestrian and vehicle crossings.
