    Coronavirus outbreak not a global health emergency yet: WHO
  • Earlier on Thursday, the World Health Organization had refused to declare the coronavirus outbreak an international health concern.

    "Make no mistake, though, this is an emergency in China," said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, adding, "But it has not yet become a global health emergency. It may yet become one."

    WHO's assessment had observed that the coronavirus represents a "high risk" regionally and globally.

    What is the coronavirus outbreak?

    What is the coronavirus outbreak?
  • The 2019 Novel Coronavirus or 2019-nCoV belongs to the family Coronaviridae. The virus only has single-stranded RNA and needs to hijack other living cells to multiply.

    It is genetically different from the Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS)—both of which caused hundreds of deaths across many countries.

    However, 2019-nCoV has a 70% genetic similarity to SARS.
