WHO chief calls COVID-19 a pandemic, as over 121,500 people have been infected worldwide

WHO, 코로나19에 팬데믹 선언…"통제될 수 있다" We start this morning with the coronavirus outbreak gripping the world. As the virus continues to spread rapidly from country to country, the World Health Organization had declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The coronavirus has spread at a wicked rate, from an outbreak in the Chinese city of Wuhan, to around 120 countries and infecting over 120-thousand people. Kim Hyo-sun tells us more. The WHO crumbled to intense pressure on Wednesday after resisting for weeks,... finally declaring the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic,... as the virus has now spread to every continent except for Antarctica. "WHO (World Health Organization) has been assessing this outbreak around the clock, and we're deeply concerned - both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction. We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic." However, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the WHO, stressed that the course of the pandemic could be changed if countries detect, test, treat, isolate, trace and mobilize their people in response. He also explained that several countries have demonstrated that the outbreak can be suppressed and controlled. While he described the situation as a pandemic,... Tedros stressed that this does not change the agency's response,... nor does it affect what countries should do to combat the virus. He also thanked measures taken by the governments of South Korea, Italy and Iran in combating the virus,... adding that, as seen in China's case,... the COVID-19 outbreak is having an enormous social and economic impact. According to the WHO,... a pandemic is defined as the worldwide spread of a new disease. Infections outside China,... where COVID-19 originated,... have now been reported in nearly 120 countries,... infecting over 121-thousand people around the world.
