Iranian President Rouhani says there will be no quarantine imposed on any city or place in the country, and the people should not care about the rumors.

Time to impose a travel ban on anyone entering the US who has been to Iran in the last 14 days.

Oh well better just to let it spread like wildfire so no one panics.

No further details available. A good guess is that it was imported from Iran, likely from the Shi'ite holy city of Qom. Shi'ites are a minority in Pakistan, but there are 16 million of them.

Brazil and Greece both have their first confirmed cases. It will be interesting to see how quickly those cases increase their er the next few days.

Wash your hands and use other reasonable precautions. They are getting the word out, consider yourself warned and exercise good hygiene.

Number of new cases outside China exceed those inside China.

"The number of new COVID-19 cases outside China exceeded those inside the country for the first time, the World Health Organization announced. Outside of China, there are now 2,790 cases of the coronavirus across 37 countries, including 44 deaths as of Wednesday morning, according to a transcript of remarks from Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of WHO. “The sudden increases of cases in Italy, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Korea are deeply concerning,” Tedros said. “Yesterday, the number of new cases reported outside China exceeded the number of new cases in China for the first time.”

Not true. If you have evidence of this please post a link. Otherwise, read more and post less. We don't need people spreading lies right now. Thanks.

You have absolutely no accurate information regarding what kinds of testing other countries are ACTUALLY using. Some countries are testing at airports using a temp scanner. Some are looking at chest X-rays. You have no inside information. But you can read more, post less, and use your common sense. You do you.

First case in Pakistan is Iran related. Likely the second as well, but no further information.

North Macedonia case is Italy related.

You think that exposing people to unnecessary radiation (chest x-rays) is a prudent move? I totally understand if you are actually quite sick and need to have an x-ray for health purposes. But can you imagine having to get a chest x-ray just to board a plane? Cray cray.
