China's National Health Commission reported 27 new confirmed cases and no additional deaths as of April 17.

That brings the country's total confirmed cases to 82,719, while the death toll stands at 4,632, according to government figures.

Separately, the NHC said there were 54 new asymptomatic cases, where people tested positive for the virus but did not display any symptoms. That brings China's total number of asymptomatic cases currently under medical observation to 1,017, according to the NHC.

and that other countries will also likely need to amend their own data as systems around the world are overwhelmed. Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in China, added 325 confirmed cases and 1,290 deaths to the city's Covid-19 count after "a city-wide investigation," state media reported Friday.

"This was done in an attempt to leave no case undocumented," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO's lead scientist on Covid-19, said at a news briefing from the agency's Geneva headquarters. "They looked at the funeral service systems. They looked at hospital systems. They looked at laboratories to see if there were any duplications or if there were any cases missing.

China is very good at reporting good news. MSM very good at parroting China reporting as if it were true

😳

CNBC = Communist News Broadcasting Company

What BS. Shameless crooks should be banned by the whole World

How can anyone believe what is being reported from communist China? Are there some real and honest reporters on the ground investigating and covering this, or is this “news” absent of facts like CNN provides ?

No new deaths but revises old numbers

Yeah, China reports the truth always

And leave us alone, cares about your own people first

except for the ones they inflicted on the rest of the globe.

They will revise this upward to 6k died about 2 months from now

Do NOT trust the number from a communist party!

Why is CNBC obsessed with what China says? China is not known for telling the truth

George Washington would laugh at you sheep 🐑

Anything China reports is not credible to even repeat

trump still a failure. FailureInChief
