More than 7000 health workers joined the strike on Tuesday, according to the Hospital Authority Employees' Alliance, the strike organiser. Hospitals said they had to cut some services due to the absences.

With Wuhan cut-off by rail, air and road, the US government was organising additional evacuation flights for its citizens still in city for Thursday.The mainland China figures indicated an increase of 65 deaths and 3887 new cases from the previous day's tally. Outside mainland China, at least 180 cases have been confirmed, including two fatalities, the one in Hong Kong and another in the Philippines.

He declined to predict whether the virus would ultimately cause a pandemic, or worldwide outbreak. WHO defines a pandemic as sustained transmission of a disease in at least two world regions.

In particular, he said, "some high-income countries are well behind in sharing this vital data with WHO. ... Without better data, it's very hard for us to assess how the outbreak is evolving or what impact it could have and to ensure we're providing the most appropriate recommendations."
