Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Coronavirus: What it does to the body
As over 10,000 people have been confirmed to have been infected, the World Health Organization, WHO, declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. It is now defined as an extraordinary event that constitutes a public health risk beyond China through the international spread of disease, and potentially require a coordinated international response. Previous emergencies have included Ebola, Zika and H1N1.
