"The overall world outbreak, 90 percent of cases are coming from Europe and the United States of America. The United States has the largest epidemic currently and has been a "fantastic partner" in addition to being the largest donor to the WHO, Harris said. Russia has become China's largest source of imported cases, with a total of 409 infections originating in the northern neighbour. "China in fact is now really focusing on looking at - apart from making sure that there are not new local cases - but their biggest threat is imported cases," Harris said. On vaccines, Harris said: "We really shouldn't be expecting to see the vaccine at least for 12 months or longer."
