The WHO Emergency Committee held a discussion on Wednesday over concerns about the Wuhan coronavirus, but it did not come to a concrete decision whether to declare a global state of emergency and is reconvening on Thursday to consider further steps. Director-General of World Health Organisation (WHO) Dr Tedros said on Wednesday that the organisation needs more information to decide if the Emergency Committee should declare a public health emergency, adding that the decision is very serious.
