Coronavirus has been declared a
global emergency by the World Health Organization, as the outbreak
continues to spread outside China.
"The main reason is not what is
happening in China but what is happening in other countries," said WHO
chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, making the announcement at a press
conference in Geneva. The concern is that it could spread to countries with weaker health systems.
