PARIS - New French health minister Olivier Veran said on Tuesday there is a “credible risk” China’s coronavirus outbreak could turn into a pandemic, spreading across the world.He said France was ready to deal with all the possibilities and its health system was sufficiently robust and well-equipped.

Four patients who tested positive for the virus remained in hospital in France, he added. An 80-year-old Chinese tourist died from the coronavirus in France last week, the first fatality in Europe.According to the World Health Organization, a pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease. On Monday, the head of the WHO’s emergencies program, Dr. Mike Ryan, said when asked whether the outbreak was a pandemic: “The real issue is whether we are seeing efficient community transmission outside of China and at the present time we are not observing that.”

russian_market Wow he is on the ball

Good looking dude.

There is not a rational coordination among🌏 countries, necessary to support China's fight to contain the spread of Covid 19 virus. US & corporate media, utilisation of the crisis as a political weapon against China is UNFAIR.

Chi finanzia i laboratori cinesi dove questo virus è stato prodotto😡😡

Another suspected, man taken away by unknown people. Possibly police in HK. Pls report to stop this continuous deeds. Please.

The question is, if China cant get it under control within the next month... are they going to remain closed off from the world? Insane economic damage

But is it real tho?

Yes him and every other head of state on the planet...

It is already a pandemic.
