While cases in China have slowed, the “sudden increase in new cases” outside of China is “deeply concerning,” Tedros said.
Outside of China, there are 2,074 cases across 28 countries, including
23 deaths, he said. “What we see is epidemics in different parts of the
world, affecting countries in different ways and requiring a tailored
response,” he said. —Lovelace
