BREAKING: Coronavirus deaths surpass SARS toll, with officials reporting more than 800 fatalities in the outbreak

More than 800 people worldwide, including one American in China, have died of novel coronavirus since it emerged last month in Wuhan, Chinese officials said. That total exceeds the number of people who died in the 2003 SARS epidemic that hit several countries.

This story will be updated.

The death toll from the coronavirus recorded its largest daily jump Saturday, with 86 deaths in one day alone, taking the toll on the mainland to 723, as the first deaths of an American and a Japanese citizen were recorded in Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak.
