WHO Director-General's opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 - 23 March 2020
More than 300,000 cases of COVID-19 have now been reported to WHO, from almost every country in the world. That's heartbreaking.
The pandemic is accelerating. It took 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second 100,000 cases and just 4 days for the third 100,000 cases. You can see how the virus is accelerating.
Further, the Situation Report, as at 02:30 PM, on 23 March 2020, the number of COVID-19 cases surpassed 300,000 globally and three new countries/territories/areas from the African Region [1], Region of
the Americas [1], and Eastern Mediterranean Region [1], have reported cases of COVID-19.
