On Sunday, World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that the "window of opportunity is narrowing" to contain the worst of the coronavirus outbreak to mainland China.
This weekend's increase in cases in Iran, South Korea and Italy "is also a matter of concern," Tedros added."Although the total number of cases outside China remains relatively small, we are concerned about the number of cases with no clear epidemiological link, such as travel history to China or contact with a confirmed case," he said.
