The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised Corona19's global risk to a very high level. In addition to China, which is the epicenter, it is spreading rapidly throughout Europe and South America.

WHO has raised Corona19's global risk level from High to Very High.

In the meantime, WHO has assessed the risk of corona 19 as `` very high '' in China alone, because there are more non-Chinese referees than new entrants in China, and the rate of its spread worldwide is accelerating.

[Govr.Yuss / WHO Secretary-General: Epidemiologists continue to monitor the spread of Corona 19 and raise the global risk level to very high.]

In Italy, the cumulative number of confirmed doctors surged to 888, and 21 died.

In Germany, 55 were positive, and the number of confirmed patients in Europe has been on the rise, with more patients in the UK, Sweden and the Netherlands.

However, the World Health Organization (WHO) did not find any evidence that Corona 19 is spreading freely in the community, and stressed that there is an opportunity to contain the virus if strong measures are taken to detect, quarantine, and track contacts.

The global pandemic is not yet, and we expect the first results of the development of vaccines and treatments in the coming weeks.
