WHO officially declared nCOVID-19 as a pandemic disease but...
Today, the World Health Organization declared nCOVID-19 as a pandemic disease.
But my country- the Philippines, is yet to produce test kits for health offices and hospitals as well as prepare extended facilities for massive confinements, should the worst scenario happens.
As of March 11, 2020, there are 49 confirmed cases of patients diagnosed positive of nCOVID-19, 2 of whom died, and another 2 have recovered.
In China and other countries where the pandemic transmitted fast, the figures are scaling up. A global tracker (https://ncovid2019.live) of cases cited the following figure as of early morning of March 11, 2020.
Meanwhile, the UN and WHO urged states to act on the pandemic reasonably and based on its health standards.
Today’s declaration of a #COVID19 pandemic is a call to action – for everyone, everywhere.— António Guterres (@antonioguterres) March 11, 2020
It’s also a call for responsibility & solidarity – as nations united and as people united.
As we fight the virus, we cannot let fear go viral.
