The new coronavirus has sickened moreThe WHO said in a statement that"all countries should be prepared for containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact tracing and prevention of onward spread" of the virus.
"There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. WHO doesn't recommend limiting trade and movement," Tedros added. But the WHO also said that in certain circumstances, such as when there are many cases of transmission among a vulnerable population, such measures could be"temporarily useful."
The coronavirus drew worldwide attention after Chinese authorities began reporting cases of pneumonia in the eastern city of Wuhan last month. They were able to pinpoint the cause to a previously unknown strain. Other forms of coronavirus, such as SARS and MERS, have been responsible for past international outbreaks.
Health authorities believe this particular strain, known as 2019-nCoV, likely first spread from an animal. China's National Health Commission has said it is associated with exposure at a seafood market that also sold live animals in Wuhan. Since then, the virus has spread from Wuhan to countries around the world, including the United States, Japan, Singapore and Thailand."The vast majority of those cases are still associated with travel to Wuhan," said Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO's health emergencies program.
Should have been done from the onset!!!
And according to the Fake News Network, CNN... our very own flu is much worse. Thanks CNN for your opinion, I think we will stick with NPR and their truth.
Halt travel
And then there are those who fear a certain Mexican beer 🤣🤣🤣
Finally? Sorry but it is too late! coronarvirus was already spread by China infected travellers. Did China’s reputition was much more important than life of ppl? Why all the reaction need to wait until it become serious? WHO shd take the responsibility of CoronavirusOutbreak
Hold on, what does the State Department mean by 'departing using commercial means?' That will just accelerate the spread of the virus. The R0 infectivity rate is as high as 3.5 or even higher! Countless possibly infected already fled to HK, a global hub.
'Virus' is virophobic, it's just guest code. Do better, NPR.
NO SHIT
I’m guessing Trump has not heard of this dangerous virus. He doesn’t read or listen to anyone who tells him something that doesn’t directly concern himself.
At this point in time maybe those abroad should just consider staying until its over.
realDonaldTrump Issue an order to cease all US air traffic between the US and China! CoronaVirus
do not travel in the US the CDC estimates that up to 42.9 million people got sick during the 2018-2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died
And where are we going with that emergency?
Took them long enough.
Let's talk origins... From where, and how, did this virus originate? Seems suspect to me 🤷♂️
Why does China need international money.
About time! SMH!
Can we just cancel Jan. 31st and move on?! This has been a long and difficult month!
The fact that everyone had to wait for the permission of a few incompetent asshats to get funding going is pretty sad. Our lives are in the hands of trust-fund kids playing dressup as responsible adults.
Two cutie pies in the front of the pic.
Did bat soup really cause this?
