WHO

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The World Health Organization warns travel bans to limit the
   spread of the new coronavirus from China could backfire and lead to a
   worsening of the epidemic worldwide. Latest reports put the number of
   confirmed cases at nearly 12,000, including 259 deaths, with most of
   the cases and all of the deaths occurring in China.

   A WHO emergency committee declared the coronavirus a global public
   health threat on Thursday, triggering a series of recommendations aimed
   at limiting the spread of the deadly disease.
