The World Health Organization has warned that the new coronavirus might be around for months.
Bruce Aylward, leader of a joint WHO – China mission of experts, said the world can learn from the nation ’s approach to restraining the virus.
He said “The single biggest lesson is speed. Speed is everything and what worries me most is, has the rest of the world learned the lesson of speed? We have outbreaks in multiple countries right now, increasing at exponential growth rates”
The epidemic has killed nearly 2 ,600 people and infected some 77 ,000 people in China, with new cases and fatalities emerging in Europe , the Middle East and Asia in recent days.
