China's President Xi Jinping said the epidemic was the 'largest public health emergency' since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949.

China's leader said Sunday the new coronavirus epidemic is the communist country's largest-ever public health emergency, but other nations were also increasingly under pressure from the deadly outbreak's relentless global march.

The World Health Organization has praised Beijing for its handling of the epidemic, but China has been criticized at home for silencing early warnings from a whistleblower doctor who later died from the virus. Around half of South Korea's cases have been linked to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus sect in the southern city of Daegu, where thousands of members have been quarantined or asked to stay at home.Virus panic crept onto catwalks, leading to the cancellation of some runway shows at Milan Fashion Week. Others were held behind closed doors and livestreamed.

Two more fatalities came over the weekend but Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte urged people"not to give in to panic", and asked them to follow the advice of health authorities.
