@WHOWPRO @WHOSEARO @WHO_Europe @WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @pahowho Public health efforts are targeted at limiting further transmission in countries with imported new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) acute respiratory disease cases which depends critically on the ability to detect the pathogen

Asymptomatic #2019nCoV infection may be rare, and transmission from an asymptomatic person is very rare with other coronaviruses, as we have seen with MERS. Thus, transmission from asymptomatic cases is likely not a major driver of transmission bit.ly/36QhfKq
The main driver of #2019-nCoV transmission, based on currently available data, is symptomatic cases.
WHO is aware of possible transmission from infected people before they developed symptoms.

WHO Situation Report 1 February 2020 bit.ly/36QhfKq
Persons with #2019nCoV who are symptomatic will spread the virus more readily through coughing and sneezing.

🧵 As the Trump administration reckons with the #coronavirus outbreak, recall how Donald Trump reacted to the Ebola epidemic – in tweets, interviews, and news conferences.

In a public health emergency, he saw political opportunity.
In 2014, Donald Trump repeatedly called on the Obama administration to halt travel from West Africa.

"Just stop the flights dummies!" he tweeted (bit.ly/36Hgkw5). "Airport testing a joke," he added (bit.ly/3b0GJbu). Soon, a hashtag was born: #StopTheFlights.
On November 10, 2014, Donald Trump typed a statement in capital letters that would foreshadow his administration’s approach to immigration policy: "NO VISAS FROM EBOLA STRICKEN COUNTRIES!" bit.ly/37Lnm4j

I have decided to reconvene the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee on the new #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) tomorrow to advise me on whether the current outbreak constitutes a public health emergency of international concern.
Most of the 6000+ new #coronavirus cases are in #China – just 1%, or 68 cases, have been recorded to date in 15 other countries. But some person-to-person transmission in 3 countries outside of 🇨🇳 has been recorded. This potential for further global spread is why I called the EC
The vast majority of new #coronavirus cases have been recorded in #China. Most cases reported outside are in people with a travel history from 🇨🇳, or have been in contact with people who have been there. But there are some signs of person-to-person transmission outside 🇨🇳.
