CORONAVIRUS | With over 236,000 infections and more than 9,700 deaths, the epidemic has stunned the world.
| The world’s richest nations poured unprecedented aid into the global economy on Thursday as coronavirus cases ballooned in the new epicentre Europe, with the number of deaths in Italy outstripping those in mainland China, where the virus originated.
Tourism and airlines have been particularly battered, as the world’s citizens hunker down to minimise contact and curb the spread of the highly contagious Covid-19 respiratory illness. But few sectors have been spared by a crisis threatening a lengthy global recession. The virus, thought to have originated from wildlife in mainland China late last year, has jumped to 172 other nations and territories with more than 20,000 new cases reported in the past 24 hours - a new daily record.
“I am certain we are up to that challenge. You can be assured that my family and I stand ready to play our part.” In the United States, where President Donald Trump had initially played down the coronavirus threat, infections surged with over 10,700 known cases and at least 163 deaths.
