(Worthy News) – South Korea reported its first death from the COVID-19 virus, formerly known as coronavirus, on Thursday, a day after two people died in Iran from having contracted the Chinese virus.

So far more than two dozen countries have been hit, though by far the lion’s share of cases and deaths have occurred in China, especially in the central Hubei province where the outbreak began.

“National quarantine efforts that are currently focused on blocking the inflow of the virus (from China) and stemming its spread are inadequate for preventing the illness from circulating in local communities,” said Mayor Kwon Young-jin of the South Korean city of Dagei.

South Korea reported 82 confirmed cases in addition to the death, while China has tallied over 74,000 confirmed cases and over 2,100 deaths from the virus, as of Thursday.
