In Italy, where Corona19 patients are overflowing, there are 80,000 confirmed patients and 8,000 deaths.

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

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 of countries 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 was concerned that the eurozone's GDP would shrink 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 have also agreed to respond to global economic hardships and to reduce funding and reduce debt burdens.
