The death toll from China's new coronavirus epidemic jumped past 1,700 on Monday after 100 more people died in the hard-hit Hubei province, the epicentre of the outbreak.
In its daily update, the province's health commission also reported 1,933 new cases. At least 70,400 people have now been infected nationwide.
Most are in Hubei, where the virus first emerged in December before spiralling into a nationwide epidemic.
The number of new cases in the province had been declining since a large spike last week when officials changed their criteria for counting cases to include people diagnosed through lung imaging.
Monday's figures were around 100 higher than those on Sunday but still sharply down on those from Friday and Saturday.
