BEIJING (Reuters) - Efforts to prevent and control the coronavirus in China's Hubei province have made progress but the situation remains severe, Chinese Vice Premier Sun Chunlan said on Wednesday, according to state-run CCTV.
Authorities in Beijing are urging both Hubei and its city of Wuhan - which is at the centre of the outbreak - to strengthen checks on patients with fever, the broadcaster said.
