Coronavirus outbreak: WHO says "too early" to call COVID-19 a pandemic | FULL

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday that the novel coronavirus outbreak was not out of control globally nor causing large-scale deaths and it was "too early" to speak of a pandemic. WHO's director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a news conference in Geneva that "using the word pandemic does not fit the facts," and that "we must focus on containment while preparing for a potential pandemic." WHO provided an update as significant jumps in cases outside China have raised concern about the outbreak getting out of control. South Korea has the third-highest national total behind China and Japan, and cases have rapidly increased in Italy and Iran in just a few days. Far from where the illness first emerged, authorities in Italy battled to contain Europe’s first major outbreak and Iran reported eight deaths — the highest toll outside of China. Some of the clusters in recent days have no link to China, a worrying sign of the virus spread.
