With more than 98,000 confirmed cases worldwide, over 3350 deaths, and around 54,000 recoveries, World Health Organisation (WHO) officials have warned that countries are not taking the coronavirus crisis seriously enough.
According to the official data put forward by the Health Ministry, the number of positive cases of novel Coronavirus or COVID-19 in India has risen to 31 with the latest being reported from West Delhi.
China, where the virus emerged late last year, still accounts for the majority of cases and deaths, but infections are now rising faster abroad, with South Korea, Iran, and Italy turning out to be major hotspots.
