China reported Sunday a drop in new virus cases for the third straight day, as it became apparent that the country's leadership was aware of the potential gravity of the situation well before the alarm was sounded. The notice reads: "Please wear a mask when dining, cooperate to receive temperature check, reject more than three person dining and birthday gathering." (AP Photo/Andy Wong)
