WHO declared the Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020.
after they identified that the novel coronavirus is expected to continue spreading internationally and may appear in any country.
WHO defines a public health emergency of international concern as “an extraordinary event” that:
identifies a “public health risk to the international spread of disease” and “to potentially require a coordinated international response.”
Previous public health emergencies have included Ebola, Zika and H1N1.
Thus, this declaration is for a global call rather than an individual call.
They are asking all countries to be prepared for containment, including:
active surveillance
early detection
isolation and case management
contact tracing
