On thursday, china`s new coronavirus (covid-19) epidemic resulted in a surge in death and newly diagnosed cases, with 242 more cases in the worst-hit province of hubei province and nearly 15,000 more diagnosed patients.

The outbreak broke out in the central province in December. In a daily update, the hubei provincial health commission confirmed 14840 new cases in the province, a huge leap in the number due to what local officials say are changing ways to diagnose cases.

Referring to the People`s Daily, according to the "Diagnosis and Treatment of Pneumonia with New Coronary Virus Infection (Trial Edition 5)", the diagnosis of suspected cases in the past was recently checked and revised in Hubei Province, and the" clinical diagnosis "was added to the case diagnosis classification in Hubei Province, thus the number of clinical diagnosis cases was included in the number of confirmed cases.

This means that CT lung imaging in suspected cases can be considered sufficient to diagnose an infected virus rather than the current standard nucleic acid test.

In a sharp rise in thursday`s figures, government said 13332 new categories of clinical diagnoses were included in the total reported cases, with clinical deaths accounting for half of the new death cases.

The Hubei Provincial Health Commission said the change would mean that patients could be treated "as early as possible" and "consistent" with the categories used in other provinces.

Currently, there are 1,357 death worldwide, with the exception of one in hong kong and one in the philippines, other death cases are in mainland, china; more than 60,000 are now diagnosed worldwide.

The decline comes a day after new cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were diagnosed in 2019, but the World Health Organization cautioned that it is "premature" to say whether or when the epidemic has peaked.

Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO`s public health emergency program, said:" I think it`s premature to predict whether the epidemic is beginning, middle or end. "

In addition, Indonesia`s health authorities are urgently tracking the route of a visitor who travelled from Wuhan to Bali last month and returned to test for a positive coronavirus.

According to the Jakarta Post, the Bali Health Service said it was investigating the Chinese tourist`s activities in Bali after she arrived on February 5 with a positive coronavirus in the city of Huainan, Anhui province.

Ketut Suarjaya of the Bali Health Service said the agency is currently trying to figure out the travel history and activities of the patient, known as Kim, according to information obtained by the Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

"We must check his date in Bali. The incubation period of coronavirus was 14 days. We don`t know exactly where he was infected. We don`t know if he was infected with coronavirus before he went to Bali. He may have contracted the virus after returning to China," said Suarjaya.

Indonesia has criticized a U.S. study that questioned why the world`s fourth-largest population has yet to have a case of coronavirus, calling it an insult and insisting the country is on high alert.
