In Italy, senior officials meet after the virus claimed its first victim in the country. An elderly man in northern Italy died after being hospitalized. The number of

cases

increased to 17 in just one day. In Kedah, a new city southeast of Milan, officials closed schools and businesses. issued an official order to close all the stores and we are following the order so we are going to close there is a lot of alarm and that also worries me a percentage miroku Costanzo we are old and very worried I am 76 years old I live in mine, I really don't know what to do, Public events are prohibited and that includes religious services.

The first patient to contract the virus here had met a friend who had recently traveled to China, but the World Health Organization is concerned about another trend they have. detected in the latest infections, although the total number of

cases

outside China remains relatively small, we are concerned about the number of cases without a clear epidemiological

, such as travel history to China or contact with a confirmed case in Ukraine, local residents blocked buses with evacuated passengers. from China these scenes led President Zalensky to give to his fellow citizens they are dressing on television these are our Ukrainians they are not sick with the plague they do not have horns or hooves they are ordinary people he promised that the organizers of the blockade will be prosecuted the authorities are working to contain the fear of the virus and its spread for further.

I am accompanied by the virologist Martin Stürmer in Frankfurt Professor Schlemmer, thank you for accompanying me, the director general of the WHO, as we have just heard in that report, has said that they are concerned about some new cases that may not have a

link

with China, a second person has just died Line Italy how worried should we be should we be worried about this case is because it makes it more difficult to control the spread of the virus, the reason is that they do not fit our case definition and therefore may not be testing or may be delayed so that they can spread the virus uncontrollably.

The whu-oh also warned that the window of opportunity to contain this epidemic is shutting down what their governments around the world are doing. Yes, we heard about Italy, so they are taking quite restrictive measures and that could be a way to be alarmed that we have control of the virus for the spread of the virus and even be more. Be careful watching the traffic to and from China and then make people coming from China more conscious to watch themselves so they don't get out and go to a festival or somewhere else and if I come back from China please stay in home for 40 days and make sure you don't get sick and bring the virus somewhere else and what about China?

I mean, are there any signs that the outbreak has peaked just by looking at the numbers they reported? It could be, however, they have changed their case definition three times in eight days so it is very difficult to realize that this is a real number of people carrying the virus, so I am not sure if it is of a peak. Is there a vaccine against this virus within our reach? They are working on it, but it would wait until at least June-July and even then it has to be tested on a smaller board before it can be used widely, so it's difficult.

You wouldn't expect it in the next few weeks or months, would you? And what is the probability then? that this epidemic will be labeled as a pandemic and depends on how the situation in Italy could change. In fact, we heard about 17 cases, if they cannot control the spread of the virus, then we have the definition of pandemic monster. I'm speaking to us from Frankfurt. Thank you very much for the update. You are welcome.
