The rapid spread of coronavirus outside of China is of great concern.

Axar.az reports this was said by the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Abhanom.

“The time needed to keep this virus under control is steadily decreasing. If we miss this chance then the real problem starts. We should not regret that one day we will not look back,” the WHO head said.

Abhanom said an increase in the number of deaths from coronavirus in Iran and the first reported cases of coronavirus infection in Lebanon were alarming.
