He explained that there were no recorded cases of sustainable transmission of infection between humans, except in certain circumstances, such as the “Diamond Princess”, adding, “I spoke with the Malaysian Minister of Health to discuss the status of the ship in Amsterdam as well.”
He continued, “All signs indicate the importance of all countries’ readiness to treat the disease with compassion and dignity, and to protect health workers and prevent transmission.”
