WHO: World must be ready for a global viral outbreak

The Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the world must be ready to face threats posed by the coronavirus.

"The world must be prepared for emerging pandemic threats by a coronavirus. At this point, using a "pandemic threat" in relation to the virus is something extra; however, the situation must provoke fear. We should focus on the virus retention and get ready for a potential genuinely global viral outbreak," Tedros Adhanom declared, adding that there is no universal panacea for the virus.
