“It is expected that further international export of cases can spread to any country. Therefore, all countries must be prepared to implement containment measures, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact tracing and preventing the further spread of the 2019-nCoV virus infection, as well as providing complete data to WHO. ” - indicated in the application.
The organization also added that the authorities of the states of the world should pay special attention to reducing the number of cases of infection of people, preventing secondary transmission and the international spread of the disease.
Previously, WHO refrained from declaring an international emergency regime in connection with the outbreak of the new coronavirus 2019-nCoV.
In late January, it became known that in the Chinese city of Wuhan, dozens of people fell ill with an unknown form of pneumonia. It was later reported that a new type of coronavirus was the cause of the outbreak of viral pneumonia.
Various states have already taken measures in connection with the occurrence of this disease. For example, airports in the United States, Great Britain, Russia, and a number of other countries began to check arriving passengers for a new type of coronavirus, but 2019-nCoV continues to spread around the world. Patients were recorded already in the USA, Singapore, Vietnam and other states.
According to the latest official data, only in China the number of infected reached 644, the deaths - 18, and two cities were isolated due to the coronavirus.
