Urgent support needed to protect vulnerable countries from outbreak
To fight further spread of te new coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak in China and globally, and protect states with weaker health systems, te international community has launched a US$675 million preparedness and response plan covering te months of February through to April 2020.
“My biggest worry is that there are countries today who do not have te systems in place to detect people who have contracted with te virus, even if it were to emerge,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Urgent support is needed to bolster weak health systems to detect, diagnose and care for people with te virus, to prevent further human to human transmission and protect health workers.”
Te Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan (SPRP) for te new coronavirus lays out activities and resources needed by international health organizations globally, including WHO, to implement priority public health measures in support of countries to prepare and respond to nCoV-2019 for a period February-April 2020. Te objectives of te plan are to  limit human-to-human transmission of te virus, particularly in countries most vulnerable if they were to face an outbreak; identify, isolate and care for patients early; communicate critical risk and event information; minimize social and economic impact; reduce virus spread from animal sources; and address crucial unknowns.
Te plan focuses on:
Rapidly establishing international coordination and operational support;
Scaling up country readiness and response operations;
Accelerating priority research and innovation.
“Te effectiveness of outbreak response depends on te preparedness measures put in place before outbreaks strike,” said Dr Mike Ryan, head of WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme. “That is why we are seeking resources to safeguard te most vulnerable countries to protect people from te new coronavirus before it arrives on te doorstep.”
As noted in te SPRP, WHO assesses that te outbreak poses a very high risk in China, and high risk regionally and globally. Te risk assessment was based on factors including te likelihood of further spread, te potential impact on human health, and te varying levels of effectiveness in national preparedness and response measures. Accelerated action, as called for in te plan, can address these risks and areas requiring support.
As of 10 a.m. Central European Time on 5 February, 25 countries have reported confirmed cases of te new coronavirus, including China, where 24,363 people had contracted te virus, or over 99% of all cases. In all other countries, 191 cases have contracted te virus.
