BREAKING: "I am not declaring a public health emergency of international concern [PHEIC] today. As it was yesterday, the Emergency Committee was divided over whether the outbreak of novel coronavirus represents a PHEIC"-

"Make no mistake. This is an emergency in
#China, but it has not yet become a global health emergency. WHO’s risk assessment is that the outbreak is a very high risk in China, and a high risk regionally and globally"-@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"584 cases have now been reported to WHO, including 17 deaths. 575 of those cases & all of the deaths have been reported in
#China, with other cases reported in Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the United States of America & Vietnam"-@DrTedros on#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"We are aware of media reports of suspected cases in other countries, but those cases are still being investigated"-
@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"We know that this virus can cause severe disease, and that it can kill, although for most people it causes milder symptoms. We know that among those infected, one quarter of patients have experienced severe disease"-
@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"We know that most of those who have died had underlying health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes or cardiovascular disease that weakened their immune systems"-
@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"We know that there is human-to-human transmission in
, but for now it appears limited to family groups & #healthworkers caring for infected patients. At this time, there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission outside
, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen"-@DrTedrosPrikaži ovu nit -
"There is still a lot we don’t know. We don’t know the source of this virus, we don’t understand how easily it spreads & we don’t fully understand its clinical features or severity"-
@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"WHO is working with our partners night and day in
#China and the other affected countries, at the regional level and here at headquarters to fill the gaps in our knowledge as quickly as possible"-@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"For the moment, WHO does not recommend any broader restrictions on travel or trade. We recommend exit screening at airports as part of a comprehensive set of containment measures"-
@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"All countries should have in place measures to detect cases of
#coronavirus, including at health facilities. The committee has made several recommendations to prevent the further spread of the virus, which the Chair has described, and which I have accepted"-@DrTedrosPrikaži ovu nit -
"There are a few simple things we can all do to protect ourselves and each other, like washing hands, covering your mouth & nose when you sneeze, & so on. WHO has a full package of information on its website"-
@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"Once again, I’d like to thank the Government of
#China for its cooperation & transparency. The government has been successful in isolating & sequencing the virus very quickly & has shared that genetic sequence with WHO & the international community"-@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"This [new
#coronavirus] outbreak was detected because#China had put in place a system specifically to pick up severe lower respiratory infections. It was that system that caught this event"-@DrTedrosPrikaži ovu nit -
"I wish to reiterate that the fact I am not declaring a PHEIC today should not be taken as a sign that WHO does not think the situation is serious, or that we are not taking it seriously. Nothing could be further from the truth"-
@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"WHO is following this [new
#coronavirus] outbreak every minute of every day, at country, regional & global level. We are working to prevent human-to-human transmission"-@DrTedrosPrikaži ovu nit -
"We have provided guidance to all countries for the rapid identification, management & containment of the virus. We are coordinating our networks of global experts. We are working to advance the development of diagnostics, therapeutics & vaccines"-
@DrTedros on new#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
"We are completely committed to ending this [new
#coronavirus] outbreak as soon as possible. And I will not hesitate to reconvene the committee at a moment’s notice"-@DrTedrosPrikaži ovu nit -

One advantage that we have now is the International Health Regulations to coordinate international response, control measures and to share information globally -
@SCBriand#coronavirusPrikaži ovu nit -
We have to be very careful this early in an outbreak to make conclusion on severity. We have to stick with the facts. What we know now 17 people have died [out of 575 people who have been sick] and their families grieve for them -
