COVID-19 Nearing Pandemic Level, WHO Warns
Though at the moment just four countries -- China, South Korea, Italy, and Iran -- account for a vast majority of confirmed COVID-19 cases, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus thinks we're getting close to experiencing a pandemic level event.
"Now that the virus has a foothold in so many countries, the threat of a pandemic has become very real," Tedros said at a news conference, referring to the novel coronavirus.
Tedros does think the world can still keep the outbreak under control. We're "not at the mercy of the virus," he said, adding that it would be the first pandemic in history that could be controlled.
