The Chinese authorities declared that the death toll of Coronavirus in various parts of the nation has raised to 6000 people along with 28,000 injuries.

On the other hand, the medical authorities affirmed that 1153 people were discharged from hospitals after they received treatment.

The deadly virus is still claiming many lives of Chinese as medics and their assistant crews exert efforts to hospitalize the infected people.

By the end of January, China informed the World Health Organization ( WHO) about the spreading of unknown pneumonia in Wuhan province in the middle part of the country.

The WHO announced later the emergency state to cope with the escalating threats of the virus which crossed the borderlines of China to more than 20 nations across the planet.

Dozens of countries repatriated their citizens from China.

A number of airlines have suspended their flights to the Chinese territories.

The organization excluded reports claiming that scientists achieved a breakthrough in adopting a vaccine fighting the virus.

Tariq Jasarvitch, the spokesman for the WHO, told reporters, that there is no effective drug to fight the virus so far.

He pointed out the organization recommends conducting more experiences to verify the effectiveness of any new drug.

The declaration of the organization perished hopes related to the possibility of providing an effective vaccine is at hand.

However, Chinese media outlets had claimed that researchers at Chag Yang, near Shanghai, have developed a new vaccine to treat diseases caused by the Coronavirus.

This news led to excitement among users of social media websites and raise up prices of crude oil in the world markets.

The WHO warns that developing an effective vaccine to fight the virus may need months or even years to come.

Reports revealed that a team of scientists in China has developed a new medical test that detects the infection with the Coronavirus in less than 15 minutes.

Experts around the world consider that breakthrough as a wide step toward fighting and containing the deadly virus which broke in China last December.

The virus claimed the lives of more than two hundred people and injured some ten thousand persons in China and other countries in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.

The scientists hope that the new test helps greatly to stop the virus and prevent it from spreading in and out of China.

Experts at a technology company based in Wuxi in east China's Jiangsu Province, working with the National Institute of Viral Disease Control and Prevention, developed a rapid DNA test in just 10 days, according to Xinhua, the Chinese national news agency.

The effective material of the test is currently being manufactured in large quantities at an average of 4,000 sets per day.

The local government in Wuxi is monitoring efforts to increase production.

The first batch of the test was reportedly already handed over to hospitals on the front lines at the epidemic outbreak epicenter at  Wuhan, Hubei Province in the middle of China.

The death toll from the virus continues to rise, as does the rate of infection worldwide.

The UK  joined more than 15 other countries around the world with other confirmed cases.

Up to date, about 213 patients have died as a result of infection with the Coronavirus, and another 9,700 have contracted the deadly disease.
