The World Health Organization released a report. As of 10 am Central European Time (17:00 Beijing time) on March 4, a total of 12,668 cases of new coronary pneumonia were confirmed in 76 countries outside China, with a total of 214 deaths. Among them, South Korea, Japan, Iran, and Italy have successively become the hardest hit areas.
5766 cases were confirmed in South Korea, with 438 new cases.
The largest number of diagnoses abroad were from South Korea, a neighbor with a strip of water with China. As of 00:00 on March 5, local time, 438 new cases of new coronary pneumonia were confirmed in South Korea, and the total number of infected people rose to 5,766. So far, 35 people have died.The number of people infected increased from 1,000 to 4,000 in just four days. The outbreak of the epidemic was Shincheon Church, a cult identified as "heresy" in South Korea. A 61-year-old Christian was unwell (finally diagnosed) and still insisted on participating in church activities, resulting in super transmission. After the incident, the leader Li Wanxi arrogantly let the believers avoid quarantine at first, and his brother was suspected to have died of new coronary pneumonia. On March 2, Li Wanxi kneeled and apologized to the Korean people at a press conference. Data show that the number of confirmed cases related to the "Xintiandi" Daegu church once exceeded half of the total number of people infected in South Korea. South Korean health officials expect that new cases will continue to climb in the next few days as they will complete the testing of more than 200,000 Xintiandi denominations, as well as thousands of other suspected cases. Professor Cui Bingjun, Department of Infectious Diseases, Seoul National University Hospital, said in an interview with Korean media that the worst case scenario is that the new crown virus may infect 40% of South Koreans.
The number of confirmed diagnoses in Italy exceeds 3,000, and residents must be free to wear masks.
Italy is the country with the worst epidemic in Europe. As of 18:00 local time on March 4th, 587 new cases of new coronary pneumonia were confirmed in Italy, with a total of 3089 confirmed cases and 107 deaths. On February 23, the Italian government urgently announced the closure of 11 cities and towns in Lombardy and Veneto, involving more than 50,000 people. However, local residents expressed dissatisfaction with the blockade order and gathered in the square without any protective measures, holding banners in protest.
Nearly 3,000 people have been diagnosed in Iran, and 23 members of Parliament have been infected.
According to the latest news from the Iranian Ministry of Health, there were 586 new cases of new coronary pneumonia in Iran on the 4th local time, a total of 2922 confirmed cases and 92 deaths. Earlier, several senior Iranian officials have been diagnosed, including the Vice President and the Deputy Minister of Health. On March 3, Iranian media reported that another 23 members of parliament had a positive nucleic acid test and one senior judicial official died. At the moment when the epidemic is rapidly spreading, the Iranian people have not given up on pilgrimages, and many people have poured into the temple to lick the holy wall. There is no doubt that such large gatherings will only become a "hotbed" for virus transmission.
The number of confirmed diagnoses in Japan exceeded 1,000, and the Olympic Games may be delayed.
As of 23:00 local time on March 4, Japan had a total of 1,035 new cases of coronary pneumonia and 12 deaths. There are not many new diagnoses every day in Japan, but some people think that Japan's prevention and control of the epidemic is too loose. The Japanese government's conditions for conducting nucleic acid tests on patients are too stringent. Mild patients can only isolate themselves at home without testing, which results in a small average daily virus detection. Of course, the main reason is that Japan currently faces a shortage of masks, disinfectants, and test boxes, and it lacks medical professionals for diagnostic tests. On March 3, the Minister of Olympics of Japan stated that the Tokyo Olympics, originally scheduled to open at the end of July, may be postponed until the end of the year.
To prevent an outbreak, pay attention to these details:
1. Keep vigilance. Production and work are being resumed in many places, and the "stop-up" of the epidemic has not stopped. Don't take it lightly.
2. Do n’t gather, do n’t get together, do n’t get together, do n’t get together at this time, to better get together later.
3. When taking public transportation, remember to wear a mask all the time and to sit apart.
4. When buying vegetables, do not directly contact live birds or game, wear a mask when going to the market.
5. Have fever, cough, diarrhea and other symptoms. Visit a fever clinic in time.
