The World Health Organization unveiled a new name for the coronavirus: COVID-19. According to the director general of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, this name does not refer to a “geographical location, animal, an individual or group of people” in an effort to avoid stigma by association with the disease.
As of Tuesday, Dr. Tedros reported that 1,017 people have died from the coronavirus, with the number of confirmed infections in China at 42,700 people. This is approximately 2,700 more than a day ago. Over 24 countries have reported cases of the coronavirus with 393 cases abroad.
The United States has 13 confirmed cases, including a 25-year-old man in Washington state, a couple in their 60s in Chicago, seven people in California, as well as single cases in Wisconsin, Arizona, and Massachusetts.
The New York Times has provided maps showing the spread of the outbreak, including one showing railway networks centered around Wuhan and neighboring Huanggang and Ezhou. As previously reported, Chinese authorities have continued to close off Wuhan canceling planes and trains and suspending buses, subways and ferries.
In the United States and other countries, several major airlines have reported plans to halt direct service to mainland China for months. While experts warn that closing borders to highly infectious pathogens does not fully succeed, such closures are hoped to allow more time to develop treatment and vaccines.

I had my first outbreaks and I was tested back in 2010 for both HSV-1 and
HSV-2. Both my husband and I tested positive for HSV-1. Last year I found
out my husband was cheating, so I decided to do a retest on all STDs
including HSV-1 and HSV-2, only difference is that this time I went to a
different clinic. Anyway I tested positive for HSV-1 which I knew I had but
surprisingly HSV-2 as well, I was so upset and got divorced with my
husband. 3 months ago a friend of mine recommended me to an African Herbal
doctor DR.Alfred. I explained everything that I have been passing through
all these years to him and he encouraged me that I will be cured
completely!. I ordered for his herbal exploit/medicine and used it
accordingly to his direction and within short period of using the herbal
medicine I was cured completely from my HSV-1 and HSV-2. I'm so relieved to
say that I've not had even one outbreak ever since again and I was also
tested Negative by my doctor. I'm feeling so great! from within and I truly

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
