A couple wear protective masks as they embrace each other on February 11 in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. Wang He/Getty Images Another 242 people died from the novel coronavirus in Hubei province on Wednesday, and 14,840 new cases were recorded -- a huge spike in confirmed infections. At least 1,355 people have now died in mainland China from novel coronavirus, with 1,310 deaths in Hubei alone. One person has also died in Hong Kong and another in the Philippines.The huge rise in confirmed cases comes from a tweak in how the authorities are tallying infections. The government is now including"clinically diagnosed cases" -- i.e. people diagnosed on the basis of their symptoms rather than testing positive -- to make it easier for those patients to access treatment.
China’s National Health Commission is expected to release numbers for all of China’s provinces later.
