An article from the New York Post revealed that the leader of the World Health Organization (WHO) released a warning regarding the coronavirus outbreak. The announcement includes a statement saying that the deadly virus had reached "unchartered territory." The WHO reported that the dangerous disease had already reached at least 90,000 total cases all over the world.

The Unique Features of the Deadly Virus

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had announced that the cases of the epidemic are growing at an alarming rate.

Also, he acknowledges that the "unique features" of the virus had resulted in a record-breaking global health crisis.

Tedros released a statement during a press conference in Geneva about the deadly COVID-19 epidemic. He said the coronavirus had reached the unchartered territory. He also said that the dangerous virus was a unique respiratory pathogen that can be transmitted in the community. However, the transmission of the virus can be controlled with the right number of measures.

Is the COVID-19 Illness Already in Pandemic Level Status?

According to Tedros' previous statement, a health concern reaches a pandemic level where there is a big-scale of severe sickness death from the disease. Also, the pandemic level is reached if the virus is spread globally and is left largely uncontained.

According to the chief of WHO, there is a big chance that the COVID-19 illness can reach the pandemic level.

Tedros stated that WHO is evaluating the situation extensively every day. They are analyzing data they gather almost every moment in the day. Tedros speaks on behalf of the WHO regarding the status of the COVID-19 outbreak. He says that WHO will not waste any time to report to the public if the evidence they gather points to the new coronavirus epidemic in the pandemic level status.

The Worldwide COVID-19 Outbreak

Currently, the virus had already caused havoc in 73 nations in the world. However, it should be noted that 90% of the thousands of new coronavirus cases in the world are in China. Most of the worldwide total of the illness from the new deadly virus is concentrated in one area in China.

Currently, there are more than 3,000 deaths globally. 172 of the total deaths are outside China.

According to CNN, the United States of America has a total of 118 COVID-19 cases. Nine deaths were reported from the United States. All of the deaths were from Seattle.

WHO on Collection of Data

Experts are still in the process of completely understanding the important details about the new coronavirus. They are still in the process of collecting data to find out about how the virus spreads. They are also in the process of researching for the ways on how it can be transmitted to humans. Additionally, the experts are researching the ways of how deadly the virus is.

An article from CBS News revealed that the WHO released a statement saying that according to the current data they had recently gathered, the virus is expected to be lethal. They stated that based on their collected data, the virus is difficult to transmit. However, they are yet to create a firm conclusion regarding the new deadly virus.
