The new Corona virus continues to spread outside China, entering a critical stage, according to the World Health Organization. Meanwhile, preventive measures are being tightened around the world. Saudi Arabia suspended the arrival of pilgrims to Mecca, Japan closed schools, and North Korea postponed its return to school. In France, President Emmanuel Macron warned Thursday of the spread of the virus, saying, "We are facing a pandemic" and "We must face it best."
The Director-General of the Health Organization, Tedros Adhanum Gebresus, confirmed that the new corona virus has reached a "critical point" globally, noting that during the past two days, the daily number of new infections in the world exceeded the number in China, where the virus appeared. "If you act decisively now, the virus can be contained, people can be prevented from getting sick, you can save lives, my advice is to act quickly," he said, describing the virus as "very dangerous."
For his part, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday, the day after the announcement of the death of the first French man, a 60-year-old man who had never visited an area where the disease was spreading, "We are facing a pandemic" and "We must confront it in the best way."
