Daily #covid19 sitrep from @WHO is up (numbers as of 10am Geneva time):

China:
80304 (+130) cases
2946 (+31) deaths

Outside China:
10566 (+1792) cases
in 72 (+8) countries
166 (+38) deaths
@WHO Countries reporting first #covid19 cases here are:

Andorra
Jordan
Latvia
Morocco
Portugal
Saudi Arabia
Senegal
Tunisia
@WHO In China, Hubei province is down to just 114 new cases. Good news. Let’s hope it keeps going down.
@WHO Outside China, @WHO reports local transmission in 30 of the 72 countries that have reported cases.
S Korea had the highest number of new cases: 600.
Iran: +523
Italy: +347
France: +91
Spain: +69

But s explained yesterday, Iran (with 523 new cases today) is a lot more worrying.n
@WHO As explained yesterday, Iran is still the most concerning. Sitrep notes that @WHO regional director "reiterated the need to enhance surveillance and response activities, and share critical information, as being essential to containing the outbreak and strengthening health system"
@WHO One last point (that didn’t even register with me until a follower pointed me to it): This is the first day with more #covid19 deaths reported outside of China than in China. Another milestone in the shift of this epidemic from China to the rest of the world.
