Worldwide efforts to counter the virus have actually been uneven, with Europe and the U.S. failing

With 1,08,394 cases reported from outside mainland China as on March 17, there are more people infected with the unique coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in other parts of the world than in mainland China (81,058). Also, as on March 17, the variety of deaths (4,279) in the remainder of the world is more than in mainland China (3,226) On Monday, there was just one new laboratory-confirmed case and 12 deaths reported in Wuhan; outside Wuhan, no new case has actually been reported from Hubei province for 12 consecutive days. Even as Iran taped 16,169 cases and 988 deaths up until now, it remains in Europe that the infection seems to be galloping. Four countries reporting an extremely high number of cases, all other European countries have tape-recorded at least one case so far, hence moving the pandemic’s epicentre from China to Europe
