The World Health Organization continues to publish what information they have on the emerging novel coronavirus situation via a variety of online venues, including their twitter feed (@WHO).
This morning, in light of developments overnight both in France (see France: Second Coronavirus Case Confirmed) and Saudi Arabia (see Saudi Arabia: MOH Coronavirus Twitter Updates), WHO has posted a stream of new messages.
The information this morning from WHO (as it has from the beginning of this outbreak) quite admirably stresses what we don’t yet know about this emerging virus and the threat it may pose.
The frank admissions by WHO officials over what they do not yet know about this threat are both welcome, and praiseworthy.
While it is too soon to know whether this virus will pose a greater public health threat, many experts are understandably concerned.
Hence the call for increased awareness and surveillance – in the Middle East and beyond - so that individual cases can be isolated and treated before they can spread the virus further.
