139 new cases were reported over the weekend, including a third death. This brings the total number of reported cases to 198.

The Daxing health commission in Beijing confirmed two cases of coronavirus, while Guangdong province’s health commission confirmed one case in Shenzhen. These are the first cases outside Wuhan, where the virus first appeared.  

Although Chinese authorities say the epidemic is under control, there is no vaccine or specific remedy for the disease.
