The World Health Organization raised concern about the spread of coronavirus cases among people who have not been to China, saying it could be ‘the spark that becomes a bigger fire’
BEIJING/GENEVA - The death toll in China climbed above 1,000, as the World Health Organization cautioned that the spread of cases outside of China could be “the spark that becomes a bigger fire” and said the human race must not let the epidemic get out of control.
There are now over 42,000 confirmed cases in China as well as 319 cases in 24 other countries, including one death, according to WHO and Chinese health officials. Worries about the coronavirus kept investors on edge with safe-havens like gold rising and the dollar hitting a four-month high against the euro on Monday.
