China's National Health Commission has updated their Coronavirus case numbers for all of China over the past 24 hours, adding 1737 new cases, and 38 new deaths.  Earlier today Hubei province reported 1032 cases, meaning that 705 cases - or roughly 40% of today's total - were reported from outside of hard hit Hubei province, which has been the epicenter of this outbreak.

The NHC also announced the cure and discharge of 21 cases, which is less than half the number reported in yesterday's report, and once again is less than the number of deaths (n=38).
