As of Friday, there were 41 confirmed cases of pneumonia caused by the coronavirus, and seven people were in critical condition, according to the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, the Associated Press<\/i> reported.<\/p>\n

The patient, who died on Thursday, was a 61-year-old man who had been hospitalized with shortness of breath and severe pneumonia.
