Hong Kong, 5th February: There is really only one story dominating the regional and global headlines this week: the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus and the impact that it continues to have both on public health and its increasingly severe economic impact.

The number of infections is now over 28,000 – with just 266 confirmed cases outside of Mainland China. The number of deaths attributed to the virus is 566 – reportedly mostly senior citizens and/or those with pre-existing conditions. All of the deaths save two have been in China.
