'We're encouraged by this trend but it's no time for complacency,' said WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The number of COVID-19 cases increased by 547 overnight, the lowest daily rise in cases of the potentially fatal virus in 25 days.
Chinese authorities identified the pneumonia-causing virus for the first time in December after a number of people in Wuhan, a bustling Chinese city, exhibited similar symptoms. Since officials reported the first 44 cases to the World Health Organization, 75,751 people have become infected with the virus worldwide and 2,128 people have died.
Iranian health officials reported the country's first cases of the virus on Wednesday. Of the five cases in Iran, Ghebreyesus confirmed two people died during Thursday's press conference.
