The World Health Organization is concerned about new cases of COVID-19 with no clear links to travel in China or other confirmed cases.

A multiplying caseload in South Korea is showing the ease with which the new coronavirus can spread.

WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says health officials need to act quickly to contain a further spread of the virus.

Globally, more than 76-thousand people have been infected in 27 countries, and more than 22-hundred have died.
