According to the latest data, the number of victims of coronavirus in the world reached 2360 people. The vast majority of the dead are China citizens. Outside of mainland China, cases of death were marked in Hong Kong, Japan, Iran, France, South Korea, in the Philippines and Taiwan. Two elderly Japanese died on board the cruise liner Diamond Princess , which stood on a quarantine off the coast of Iokogama. The total number of coronavirus infected around the world reached 77.9 thousand people.
At the moment, the obligatory quarantine in coronavirus is two weeks, however, several cases have been revealed when the symptoms of the disease were manifested in infected people much later. So, in a resident of the Shennjia district in the Chinese province of Hubay, symptoms appeared only after 27 days. In another case, the symptoms of coronavirus were found only after 38 days. This means that the incubation period of the disease can last longer than two weeks.
The head of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) Tedros Adan Goebreesus expressed concern with the number of cases of coronavirus infection outside China, who do not have direct epidemiological communication: for example, people who did not go to China and did not have contacts with sick patients. According to WHO, 1,200 people in 26 countries fell ill outside the PRC, eight people died.
Of particular concern, according to Goebreyesus, are caused by cases of coronavirus infection in Iran, where four people have died over the past two days, and the possible spread of coronavirus in countries with a weak healthcare system.
The head of the WHO noted that 80% of patients will recover, since their disease proceeds in a mild form. However, 20% are in a serious or critical state, in some it reaches septic shock and multiple organ failure. According to Goebreesus, the growing number of cases of coronavirus transmission outside China shows that "a window of possibilities to contain this virus is narrowing."
