The US and South Korea postponed joint military drills to limit the spread of the virus, which has emerged far beyond China, where it originated late in 2019, apparently in a market selling wildlife in the city of Wuhan. The rapid spread of the virus in different places — notably Italy, Iran and South Korea — in recent days has met the definition for a pandemic, and raised alarm.Denmark confirmed its first case, in a man who returned from a ski holiday in Italy, while Estonia found its first, a man returning from Iran, media reported.Brazil confirmed Latin America's first infection on Wednesday, while several other countries including Pakistan, Romania and Algeria also reported their first cases.
News that a Korean Air flight attendant who worked on flights between Seoul and Los Angeles later tested positive, is likely to unnerve passengers further. Trump, seeking to calm US stock markets, said the risk from the virus was “very low” in the US, and it was “very, very ready” to face the threat.
