The outbreak of a new deadly coronavirus in China is not yet a global health emergency, said director-general of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. It was, however, an emergency in China, he added, SIA reports.
Ghebreyesus was speaking after WHO's emergency committee met for a second day on Thursday to debate the epidemic but were divided over whether or not to declare it an emergency.
Prof Didier Houssin, the chair of the emergency committee, said it was "too early" to consider it a "public health emergency of international concern" which would have designated the epidemic a serious global public health event. The international organisation said they could reconvene the committee if the situation changes.
