world health organization declares 2019-nCOV A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY OF INTERNATIONAL CONCERN

January 30, 2020: Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the WHO, stated that the main reason for the declaration was not necessarily because of the rising number of cases in China, but rather the likelihood of more confirmed cases in countries with weaker health systems that are ill-equipped to handle the health crisis. As of issue, there are 82 cases of 2019-nCoV outside China, in 18 countries spanning across North America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. In China, at least 170 people have died and more than 7,700 cases have been confirmed.

We are currently monitoring the coronavirus (2019-ncov) outbreak that began in wuhan city, china, in December 2019, and HAS rapidly spread throughout the globe, INCLUDING THE UNITED STATES.
