Speaking at a news conference in Geneva on Tuesday, … the Director of Global Infectious Hazard Preparedness at the World Health Organization, Sylvie Briand said the coronavirus outbreak, which has killed hundreds and left tens of thousands of people sick worldwide, does not constitute a pandemic. (Instead , … she says the outbreak is an epidemic with “multiple foci”.
“Currently we are not in a pandemic. We are at the phase where it’s an epidemic with multiple foci and we will try to extinguish the transmission in each of these foci. “
Addressing rumors surrounding the coronavirus, … Briand says there’s no evidence the virus was mutating. “I think maybe I know that there have been also some information saying that the virus while spreading is changing, and mutating and so on, but so far we have no evidence of that, it’s still quite a stable virus. “
