No need to halt travel to beat China virus: WHO chief
World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday there was no need for measures that “unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade” in trying to halt the spread of a coronavirus that has killed 361 people in China.
“We call on all countries to implement decisions that are evidence-based and consistent,” he told the WHO executive board, reiterating his earlier message.
“... Global connectedness is a weakness in this outbreak but it is also our greatest strength.”
