Alicia Machado showed her concern this Wednesday through social networks about the unstoppable spread of the coronavirus, especially after a case of contagion was detected in a boy who studies at his daughter Dinorah's school.

“I am so distressed, I really don't know, I am very worried. Tomorrow I will not send her to school because, that is, it scares me,”said the former Miss Universe through a video she shared on Instagram.

The publication of the Venezuelan actress generated endless reactions among her followers.

While many tried to reassure her, others soon reproached her for being a public figure contributing to fear-mongering rather than calling for calm.

"I love you, but what you do is make us nervous," said one follower.

The response of the also businesswoman to the criticisms was immediate.

Sorry, I need you, yes I am afraid, I am a single mother. You are not always famous because you are strong, at this moment we are all vulnerable,”she wrote.

With more than 120 thousand cases in 117 countries, the coronavirus was declared this Wednesday as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO).

"We are concerned about the alarming levels of spread and the alarming levels of inaction," said Adhanom, the WHO director, at a press conference, according to the newspaper El País. "Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, misused can cause unreasonable fear or unwarranted acceptance that the fight is over, which will lead to unnecessary suffering and death.

In the United States, the virus has spread to at least 38 states, with more than 1,000 cases and 31 deaths, figures that are increasing almost every hour.
