Okay BBC world news is asking this question
Major outbreaks of the new coronavirus have suddenly been detected in both Italy and Iran in the past few days.
Meanwhile, cases in South Korea have surged making it one of the worst-affected countries.
The new coronavirus is no longer a problem just in China, with a small number of exported cases.
It has many people asking if the virus is about to become a pandemic and whether containing it is still possible?
A pandemic is a disease that is spreading in multiple countries around the world at the same time.
This virus "absolutely" has pandemic potential, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
