I believe for the first time the rest of the world reported more new confirmed cases at 442, than all of China at 415, despite the total confirmed cases of the world at 3206, is only 4.1% of China's 78073. This also means China new cases increase by 0.5% while the rest of the world increase by 16%. S.Korea, Italy and Iran are facing explosion, increasing by 29.1%, 15.8%, 46.3% respectively. Japan and Taiwan may have under reported their cases, considering two of the latest three cases of Thailand reportedly have travel history to Hokkaido Japan. Meanwhile Hokkaido reported their first fatality and the local authorities decided to temporarily close all public elementary and junior high schools. OTOH Taiwan have untraceable cases, and law that ban the disclosure of these cases including who and where, so no city take serious precautionary measure.
Update on Feb 28: Ok, apparently Feb 25 was the first day the rest of the world has more new cases than China, and this trend has remained so up to today Feb 28.World News February 25, 2020 / 11:13 AM
Coronavirus spreads faster outside China, stoking global fears
David Stanway, Josh SmithSHANGHAI/SEOUL (Reuters) - The number of new coronavirus infections inside China - the source of the outbreak - was for the first time overtaken by fresh cases elsewhere on Wednesday, with Italy and Iran emerging as epicenters of the rapidly spreading illness. Asia reported hundreds of new cases, Brazil confirmed Latin America’s first infection and the new disease - COVID-19 - was also detected for the first time in Pakistan, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Romania and Algeria. U.S. health authorities, managing 59 cases so far - mostly Americans repatriated from a cruise ship in Japan - have said a global pandemic is likely.
