"Coronavirus can threaten global food supply, warns UN HONG KONG/WASHINGTON/ROME/MADRID: The coronavirus pandemic that is affecting 210 countries and territories around the world, has so far claimed 1,918,679 cases with 66,314 new cases and 119,212 deaths with more than 5,000 new deaths.

Rather, it’s the world's drastic measures in response to the virus, reported CNN on Monday."
