China's virus death toll rose by 89 on Sunday to 811, passing the number of fatalities in the 2002-03 SARS epidemic, but fewer new cases were reported in a possible sign its spread might be slowing as other nations stepped up efforts to block the disease.
Also Sunday, six more cases were reported among 3,700 passengers and crew aboard the quarantined cruise ship Diamond Princess in Japan for a total of 70.
