The World Health Organization has revealed that reported cases of people infected with coronavirus also known as COVID-19 has reached a total of 90,893 with 3110 deaths.

This was disclosed by Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus during a daily media briefing on COVID-19 which first broke out in Wuhan, China.

He said, "We have now had 2 weeks without a single reported case of Ebola in Congo - Kinshasa & there are currently no patients receiving treatment. This is very good news for the whole Earth globe Europe-Africa & especially for the thousands of #healthworkers who have sacrificed so much in the fight against it.

"But as one epidemic looks like ending, another is becoming increasingly complex. There is now a total of 90,893 reported cases of COVID19 globally & 3110 deaths. In the past 24 hours, China reported 129 cases, the lowest since the 20th of January"

"Outside China, 1848 COVID19 cases were reported in 48 countries. 80% of those cases are from just three countries: South Korea, Iran, Italy.

"12 new countries have reported their first cases & there are now 21 countries with one case only. 122 countries have not reported any cases.

"The actions these newly-affected countries take today will be the difference between a handful of cases and a larger cluster", he added.
