The head of the World Health Organization says the world is facing an “unprecedented threat”.

Both China and South Korea have reported an increase in cases of coronavirus in the past day.
China said it had had no new domestic cases on Wednesday – which was a significant milestone in a country ravaged by the virus. But it did report 34 cases it said had been brought in by people coming from overseas.
South Korea reported 152 new cases on Wednesday – for four days, its numbers had been decreasing.
Singapore also reported 47 new cases on Wednesday, most of them traced to people who had come in from overseas.
The concern in these countries which had introduced strict control measures is that as their citizens follow instructions to come home, they are bringing cases in with them.
