China’s Refineries Throttle Back; Deaths Top 2,000: Virus Update - Bloomberg:
Hong Kong had a second fatality from the coronavirus while China’s death toll from the outbreak went past 2,000.
All remaining passengers in the Westerdam cruise ship in Cambodia tested negative for the virus and Japan began releasing passengers from a quarantined cruise ship. Chinese oil refineries cut production even further to cope with weak demand.
The number of people infected worldwide exceeded 75,000. The Hubei province at the center of the outbreak reported the fewest number of additional cases since it changed its method for counting infections last week. China’s strict quarantine likely bought the rest of the world several weeks to prepare for the virus, according to the World Health Organization.
