@WHO Good news first: Hubei Province reported only 196 new #covid19 cases. So hopefully the increase in cases in last two days was not sign of a resurgence (yet). Only 10 cases in rest of China. Everyone will be looking closely at those numbers over coming days and weeks of course.
@WHO Rest of the world looking a lot worse:
Italy: +561 cases
S Korea: +476
Iran: +385
Germany: +72
Since a lot of people are following these numbers now, I want to make clear that they are not created equally.

@WHO Iran may have posted less new #covid19 cases than Italy and S Korea, but it is still the most concerning (to me, anyway). The number of deaths (54) and the many exported cases popping up everywhere suggest there is a huge epidemic underway. Last thing that region needs.
@WHO South Korea may have huge increase in cases, but as @DrTedros said in press conference today, most of those cases are part of 5 known clusters. And number of deaths compared to cases, looks much more like they are finding most cases through aggressive testing.
@WHO @DrTedros And what’s up with numbers from US, @WHO? 0 new cases reported again. Are they not sharing numbers?
