Millions could die if virus allowed to spread unchecked: UN chief
Millions of people could die from the new coronavirus, particularly in poor countries, if it is allowed to spread unchecked, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned on Thursday, appealing for a coordinated global response to contain it
"If we let the virus spread like wildfire -- especially in the most vulnerable regions of the world -- it would kill millions of people," he said
"Global solidarity is not only a moral imperative, it is in everyone's interests," he said.
