Good afternoon, I have already said a lot about the outbreak of novel coronavirus, at the Executive Board yesterday and at the PBAC meeting last week.
But allow me to underline a few key points. The latest data we have is that there are 20,471 confirmed cases in China, including 425 deaths.
Outside China there are 176 cases in 24 countries, and one death, in the Philippines. It’s important to underline that 99% of the cases are in China, and 97% of deaths are in Hubei province.
