BEIJING/MANILA (Reuters) – China ramped up measures to contain the coronavirus epidemic and shore up an economy hit by travel curbs and business shut-downs on Sunday as the first death from the illness was reported outside the country. A 44-year-old Chinese man from the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, the epicenter of the epidemic, traveled to the Philippines and died there on Saturday, the Philippines Department of Health said. The virus outbreak is still “severe and complicated”, Hubei vice governor, Xiao Juhua, told a news conference.
