“Today is my birthday and I have been given a good gift from DRC”, says @drtedros: 2 weeks with no #Ebola case. No Ebola patient in treatment. Good news for the whole world, he says.

For me and for everyone I know who has been following #covid19, the last few days have felt like a profound shift in the epidemic. We are clearly entering a new phase. And since I've had some time to digest recent news, here is a short thread about that „window of opportunity“
Daily #COVID19 sitrep from @WHO is out. Important note: They’ve decided how to deal with the new case definition now. From today on, they are including the clinically diagnosed cases in Hubei province that are not lab confirmed in the totals.
@WHO China:
70 635 (+2051) cases
1772 (+106) deaths
Outside of China:
794 (+111) cases in
25 countries
3 deaths
(those are the #COVID19 numbers from WHO as of 10 am Geneva time)

@WHO Worth highlighting that of those 111 new #COVID19 cases from outside China, 99 are new cases on the cruise ship #princessdiamond. That outbreak will be used as a case study by epidemiologists and ethicists for a long time to come.
.@DrMikeRyan updating on new #COVID19 numbers now: Says China added 1,820 lab confirmed cases, bringing total to 46,550 cases. In addition, he says China reported 13,332 clinically confirmed cases in Hubei province (those "relate to a period going back over days and weeks”)
@DrMikeRyan This is the spike everyone has been talking about today. It’s due to changes of reporting, @DrMikeRyan confirms: “In Hubei province only, a trained medical professional can now classify a suspected case of #COVID19 as a clinically-confirmed case on the basis of chest imaging”.
@DrMikeRyan Outside China, there are 447 cases from 24 countries, 2 deaths (Japan in addition to the death in Singapore). Largest #COVID19 cluster outside China is the one on #PrincessDiamond with 218 cases.
