GLOBAL MARKET/OPINION: CORONACOUNT:
- Latest figures via John Hopkins CSSE show global total cases of Coronavirus
just shy of 80,000 (79,441 as of 1013GMT).
- Market's focus has been on the growth in cases outside of China, with
outbreaks noted specifically in South Korea, Italy and Iran.
- South Korea reported an increase of 231 cases to 833 with 2 new deaths (8
total).
- Italy reported an increase of 60 cases to 217 with 1 new death (4 total).
- Iran reported 4 new cases to 47 with 4 new deaths (12 total).
Given the mobility of the South Korean armed forces, the spread in the military
is particularly concerning and the ability of Italian and Iranian officials to
contain the outbreak is a source of concern.
