GENEVA (REUTERS) - The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Monday (March 2) that its greatest coronavirus concerns were South Korea, Italy, Iran and Japan, but that it was still possible for all countries to contain the virus.

In the previous 24 hours, almost nine times as many coronavirus cases were reported outside China as inside, but WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the spread could be halted – unlike seasonal influenza.
