of the pandemic. will take you around the world one of the most unusual celebrations of east in modern times. we're starting with china which has recorded more than 100 new corona virus infections which sounds like a small number but it is the highest in 6 weeks and it's sparking a bit of concern about a possible 2nd outbreak most of these new cases came from people arriving from overseas but no new infections were reported in who by province where the outbreak was 1st detected globally more than 114000 people have died from cove in 19 more than 1800000 have been infected more in the china situation now with sarah clarke in hong kong hi sara so the way that i read those numbers it's saying that it's
8:02 am
a good news well it's good news domestically if there's no new cases particularly in who they province but still cases coming in from overseas. this is the area kemal that to china's considering are certainly focusing on this is what they describe as a 2nd wave of infections of imported cases so those travelers or chinese returning to the mainland after being overseas we have 108 that's the latest figures from the national health commission in china that's the highest number of data cases as you mentioned in 6 weeks and that's up from 99 the previous day we can also report that we've got 2 new deaths coming out of china and they are from the whip hand province but certainly we're seeing an ongoing downward trend coming from china since the crowd of virus began in the calculations were reported that was back in january now you would almost say that china's trying to get across that it's in recovery mode we've got to the likes of will hand the lockdown was lifted last week and that was a city of 11 main people it was sealed off for 76 days with the travel resuming
8:03 am
inbound and outbound into that particular city a domestic travel has also resumed across china but they still have very heavy quarantine restrictions in place for foreigners coming back into the country this is their way of dealing with what they describe as is concerned about a 2nd wave of infections in the country but of course we have a number of questions about the calculations of the figures being released by china and certainly the transparency of the accounting measures that they using and we had a senior british minister michael gove's last week and he's a question the transparency of china's version of the infectiousness of the virus so we had donald trump question the death toll when you compare the death toll coming out of china is minimal when you look at the u.s. in comparison donald trump said the death toll is on the light side looking at the latest overall figures from china we have 3343 deaths only since the reporting began back in january we have 83134 deaths numbers or cases of the virus
8:04 am
coming out of china of course these numbers are very small when you compare them to other countries and this is where the questions have begun about the accuracy of those figures a circuit board if you wouldn't mind on the economic and business news coming out of asia. we've got a number of developments on the economic impact of the coronavirus in asia looking at south korea here one of the biggest come out of factories it's told its union that it's considering halting 3 of its major plants are producing those cars now that suspending its operations not closing them all together and this of course is in response to the coronavirus impact it's wang heavily on the exports from south korea to the united states and europe now south korea's exports for the 1st 10 days i believe tumbled it's asia's 4th largest economy and it's the 1st major exporting nation to released its month they tried and exports for the 1st 10 days therefore and by 18.6 percent compared to the previous year we also have some latest figures coming out of south korea with regards to the number of cases we have $25.00 cases
8:05 am
