Yes, that appears to be the latest from the Chinese Health Ministry. The one-day increase in Hubei was just under 3,000 new cases and 70 additional deaths. Nothing in those numbers to suggest that the 2% CFR estimate is unreasonable, although we still have no idea how many cases are uncounted.
The WHO 5 February situation report shows a total of 32 new cases outside of China. 13 of those are in Japan, where they have 3,700 people quarantined on a cruise ship and ten of those 13 new cases are passengers from the ship. Latest news from Japan is that 10
more passengers have tested positive for 2o19-nCoV, which is hardly surprising. Only one new ROW death in that WHO report, and that's the case in the Philippines that had previously been reported elsewhere.
