   7:15 pm: China warns citizens against travel to the US, says tourists have repeatedly been treated 'unfairly'
   
   China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism has warned citizens against traveling to the U.S., saying Chinese tourists had repeatedly been treated "unfairly" stateside.
   
   In an online statement published Monday, the ministry urged citizens to raise their awareness due to the U.S. security situation and "excessive" prevention measures.
   
   The White House was not immediately available to comment when contacted by CNBC on Monday.

     4:07 pm: Virus cases in China have plateaued, but the exact timing of peak is unclear
     
     COVID-19 cases in China appears to have plateaued, according to data from both WHO and outside researchers tracking the disease. The exact timing of when cases peaked, however, is unclear. WHO said earlier in the day that cases in China peaked and plateaued between Jan. 23 and Feb. 2. But WHO's data appears to show that cases leveled off sometime the week of Feb. 14. The reason for the apparent discrepancy could be because China changed the way it classifies cases three times, said Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease specialist and professor at the University of Toronto. "It's hard to look at the data and derive definitive conclusions, given the definition of cases has been changed several times," he said. "Whether or not it peaked at that time or another time, the key point is that it does appear to be peaking and plateauing now." — Lovelace
