China admits that the country has not responded adequately to the corona virus outbreak. The standing committee of the police station says that in future such a national emergency situation needs to be improved.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said that China has started a "race against the clock" to curb the spread and that those who neglect their duties will be punished.

In Wuhan, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Ground Force takes over the supply of medical supplies. "The Beijing leadership realized that almost all donation points in Hubei and Wuhan have had supply problems, that some opportunists are using this crisis to make money," said a military source. The PLA also sent 1400 medical troops to staff the new Wuhan hospitals build during the last  10 days.

Japan has locked down a cruise ship with 3700 people on board. The ship is under quarantine and may only continue sailing if everyone has been checked for infection with the Wuhan virus. The ship is anchored in front of the port of Yokohama, after infection was discovered with a holiday maker from Hong Kong.
