The mysterious respiratory illness has sickened about 300 people in Asia.
The outbreak coincided with extensive travel in and out of China before the Lunar New Year on Jan. 25. On Wednesday, the World Health Organization will meet to discuss whether to declare the outbreak a global health emergency, which would help guide countries on how to respond, usually by offering financial or political support or both. It could also recommend against practices that could be detrimental to affected regions, such as restrictions on travel and trade.
North Korea, for example, has reportedly closed its border to foreign tourists until the coronavirus outbreak is under control."When you put travel bans in place, people don't go through the normal processes. You lose the opportunity to give people medical information, conduct appropriate screening or provide medical treatment," Phelan said.
Osterholm said super-spreader cases occurred during two well-known coronavirus outbreaks: the SARS and MERS epidemics. The 2003 SARS outbreak reached more than two dozen countries, sickening 8,098 people. Nearly 800 died.
