The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
This decision was made in light of the rapid spread of the virus to countries outside of China and the potential for further spread. The WHO emphasized the need for a coordinated international response to contain the outbreak and prevent further transmission.
As of now, there have been over 7,800 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, with the majority of cases occurring in China. However, cases have also been reported in several other countries, including the United States, Japan, and Germany.
The WHO has provided recommendations for countries on how to prevent the spread of the virus, including implementing health screenings at airports and other points of entry, educating the public on the symptoms of the virus, and ensuring that healthcare facilities are equipped to handle cases.
It is important for the public to stay informed about the novel coronavirus outbreak and to follow the guidance provided by health authorities to protect themselves and others.
