Ang pamunuan ng World Health Organization (WHO) nitong Martes ay nagbigay babala na ang
novel coronav1rus ay isang "very grave threat" o pinakamatinding banta sa buong mundo ng kanyang buksan ang conference para labanan ang epidemic.



Ayon kay Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus sa kanyang talumpati sa Geneva,Switzerland:

"With 99% of cases in China, this remains very much an emergency for that country, but one that holds a very grave threat for the rest of the world,"

Ang ilang 400 scientists ay magsagawa ng review kung paano nag tatransmit ang virus at ang posibleng gamot dito sa kanilang dalawang araw na forum.

Dagdag pa ni Tedros:

"What matters most is stopping the outbreak and saving lives. With your support, that's what we can do together,"

Ayon pa sa ulat ng Philstar:

Participants will also discuss the source of the virus, which is thought to have originated in bats and reached humans via another animal such as snakes or pangolins.

There is no specific treatment or vaccine against the virus, which can cause respiratory failure.

Tedros, who has repeatedly urged countries affected to share their data, called for global "solidarity".

"That is especially true in relation to sharing of samples and sequences. To defeat this outbreak, we need open and equitable sharing, according to the principles of fairness and equity," he said.

"We hope that one of the outcomes of this meeting will be an agreed roadmap for research around which researchers and donors will align," Tedros said.

Several companies and institutes in Australia, China, France, Germany and the United States are racing to develop a vaccine—a process that normally takes years.

Asked whether scientists from Taiwan would be allowed to take part in this week's Geneva conference, WHO officials said that they would do so but only online—along with colleagues from other parts of China.

While the WHO does not deal with Taiwan directly and only recognizes Beijing, Taiwan was often allowed to attend annual assemblies and sideline meetings as an observer.

But in recent years it has been frozen out as Beijing takes an increasingly combative stance towards democratic Taiwan, which it considers its own territory.
