Brief Covid 19 Update, 2/24/20
Via Zerohedge :
First cases reported in Oman, Bahrain
Italy reports sixth death; confirmed cases >200
WHO kowtows to China in statement
Wuhan issues order to loosen lockdown, then U-turns
NHC says outbreak is fading, though situation remains "grim"
Iranian lawmaker says more than 50 deaths in Qom; officials say 12

IOW, the virus appears to be spreading from Iran to surrounding Middle East countries. The Chinese government admits the situation in Wuhan remains "grim." Surrounding East Asian countries are beginning to take measures against the spread coming from South Korea. Not included in the summary, I read that Austria closed its border with Italy.
Global travel and trade will be hit hard.
