The risk of the global spread of coronavirus is at its highest possible level, the World Health Organisation has said

Nigeria reported its first case on Friday - linked to Italy - but Dr Ryan said it had"well-tested mechanisms for dealing with these dangerous pathogens", citing experience with Lassa fever and cholera.

Mr Adhanom Ghebreyesus said most confirmed cases of COVID-19, at the moment, are linked to"known contacts or clusters of cases"."We do not see evidence as yet that the virus is spreading freely in communities," he added. "As long as that's the case, we still have a chance of containing this coronavirus, if robust action is taken to detect cases early, isolate and care for patients and trace contacts.Tourists wear protective masks in Venice after the city's carnival was cancelled due to COVID-19

He also announced that more than 20 vaccines are being developed around the world, with several treatments in clinical trials, and results are expected in a few weeks. But, he said people can protect themselves ahead of those results by regularly washing your hands, disinfecting surfaces regularly, not touching your face, watching out for symptoms, avoiding travel if you have a fever or cough, sneezing into a tissue and avoiding crowded places if you are over 60 years old or have underlying conditions.
