WHO increases COVID-19 threat assessment to highest level

WHO "코로나19 세계적 위험 수준 '매우 높음'으로 상향"

The World Health Organization has raised its global risk assessment of COVID-19 to the highest level, as of Friday local time.
The move comes as the epidemic continues to spread across the globe, reaching at least 48 countries in a matter of weeks.
In a press briefing, WHO officials expressed concerns about the increasing number of confirmed patients worldwide.
Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO's health emergencies program, said this is a reality check for every government on the planet to get ready.
But WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said there's still a chance for the disease to be contained with the right measures, including proper isolation units, medical supplies and other vital equipment.
