Iranian Vice President of Women and Family Affairs Massoumeh Ebtekar was confirmed infected with the new coronavirus, local media reported on Feb.27. The new coronavirus has been confirmed by several Iranian officials.

WHO--The biggest worry now is outside China.

The biggest concern is now outside China, where the global outbreak is at a critical juncture and countries are advised to act quickly. However, the new coronavirus is not influenza, and China's epidemic prevention experience shows that as long as the right measures are taken, the outbreak can be controlled.

In addition, Belgium, Cambodia, India, Nepal, the Philippines, Russia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam have not reported new cases for more than two weeks, and each country needs to be prepared to detect cases early, isolate patients, track contact groups, provide quality clinical care, and prevent hospital outbreaks and community transmission.
