The number of coronavirus cases worldwide has surpassed that of the Sars epidemic, which spread to more than two dozen countries in 2003.
There were around 8,100 cases of Sars - severe acute respiratory syndrome - reported during the eight-month outbreak.
But nearly 10,000 cases of the new virus have been confirmed, most in China, since it emerged in December.
Countries and territories that have confirmed cases: Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Malaysia, Macau, Russia, France, the United States, South Korea, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Britain, Vietnam, Italy, India, the Philippines, Nepal, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Finland and Sweden (= Jönköping).
"Det är viktigt att komma ihåg att enstaka fall inte är samma sak som att vi har en smittspridning i Sverige. Den risken bedömer vi för närvarande som mycket låg utifrån erfarenheter från andra länder", skriver Karin Tegmark Wisell, avdelningschef på Folkhälsomyndigheten, i ett pressmeddelande.
