The World Health Organization (WHO) says the new coronavirus could spread worldwide. “The outbreak is getting bigger,” WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told reporters on Friday in Switzerland. Coronavirus cases have been confirmed in almost 60 countries. At least seven countries reported their first cases in the past 24 hours. Those countries are Azerbaijan, Belarus, Lithuania, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Nigeria. The new coronavirus has infected more than 83,000 people around the world. Mainland China, where the virus was discovered, has the largest number of infections. On Friday, China reported 327 new cases, its lowest number since January 23. The country now has more than 78,800 cases and almost 2,800 deaths from the disease, called COVID-19. About three-fourths of all new infections are being reported in countries other than China.
