There are now over 500,000 corona19 patients worldwide. The United States has already surpassed China, and Italy, which is not proliferating, is expected to soon overtake China with the number of patients. Concerns about the global economy are also growing.

In Italy, where Corona19 patients overflowed, there were 80,000 confirmed patients and 8,000 deaths.

Although the figures fell slightly from yesterday (26th), the fatality rate is still 10%.

[Governor Attilia Fontana / Lombardy: Unfortunately, it is not positive. Compared to the trend of these days, the number of confirmers has increased too much today.]

It is estimated that more than 6,000 people in Spain, 43,000 in Germany, and more than 20,000 in Iran and France are infected with Corona19.

With the rapid spread of Corona19 in more than 170 countries, including the United States, the cumulative number of confirmed cases worldwide has increased to 220,000 and the number of deaths to 23,000.

Corona 19 in Wuhan, China, at the end of last year, has surpassed 500,000 in three months.

UN Secretary-General Guthes said the spread of the virus is growing exponentially, urging leaders from each country to develop an exhibition plan.

Concerns about the global recession are also growing.

S & P, the international credit rating agency, predicted that the corona19 would reduce GDP in the UK and the eurozone this year by 2%.

If the blockade continues for four months, it is concerned that the eurozone's GDP will drop by nearly 10% this year.

The European Central Bank removed the limit on purchases of bonds by country in response to this shock.

The IMF and the World Bank also agreed to support funding and ease debt burdens in response to global economic damage.
