During a press conference, the WHO's Director-General Dr Tedros declared the coronavirus as a public health emergency of international concern. The announcement is only the sixth time such an emergency has been declared. Speaking in Geneva, Tedros said the "greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems and which are ill-prepared to deal with it." The pneumonia-like virus has infected more than 7,736 people and killing at least 170.
