The virus' ability to spread from one person to another has raised concerns that there could be a significant international outbreak.
A World Health Organization committee of experts determined on Thursday that China's health crisis involving a novel coronavirus was an"emergency" there but didn't constitute one internationally.
"Human-to-human transmission of the disease has appeared, and the virus is likely to mutate. There are risks of the further spread of the disease," Li Bin, vice minister of China's National Health Commission, said in a statement. Ghebreyesus said that about one-quarter of people who were diagnosed experienced"severe" symptoms and that most people who were killed had underlying health conditions that weakened their immune systems.
Before declaring a PHEIC, an emergency committee meets and then advises the WHO director-general on the state of the situation. The panel's recommendations would include measures for the place where the disease originated and how to prevent or reduce the disease from spreading internationally.
