More than 77,000 cases reported globally, with more than 2400 deaths at last report, U.

S officials are talking about how effectively they can contain the virus here as the State Department raises the travel advisory levels for Japan and South Korea.

That's where Ian panel joins us in another uptake in cases there.

Yeah, that's right.

Eva and South Korea's president has just put the country on code red.

That's its highest alert for infectious diseases, saying officials should take quote unprecedented, powerful steps to find a major outbreak of covert 19 in the country that just continues to spread.

This morning.

Covert.

19 cases surging in South Korea, the government here confirming more than 150 new cases, nearly half of the total infections linked to a single church group.

I think people are taking this virus quite seriously, trying to stay in and stay away from large groups.

Americans William Wickham and Desire Anderson, both teaching English in South Korea, that showed ABC News the city of Tae Gu, where nearly half of confirmed infections have bean found.

Normally.

These streets are very cool, very packed with people.

But governments kind of advised people to stay inside to wear mass.

At this bus terminal in Seoul, travelers a scanned with a heat detection camera but is the fear of a possible pandemic grows.

So is misinformation and disinformation.

New reports of unfounded conspiracy theories are apparently being spread via Russian linked social media accounts with false claims that the United States is behind the outbreak.

Moscow denies any hand in it.

And in America, one court is now temporarily blocking the U.

S.

Government from sending 50 people infected with covert 19 to a quarantine facility in California.

A hearing is scheduled Monday, so people are now doing everything they can to try and protect themselves.

Course.

Everyone's wearing face masks that washing their hands repeatedly.

When you going to restaurants or a shopping.

Now people are also having their temperature taken, and I want to show you this if I can.

This is an app that's being developed that shows you where every single person in the country who's got covert 19 has bean, allowing you to try and avoid those areas.

But that is becoming increasingly difficult.

Wits still a major concern ahead Ian panel for us.

Thank you.
