The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday has declared a global emergency over the new coronavirus as the disease has taken a toll on a large number of human lives in China and many people had been kept in quarantine over suspected symptoms of the deadly disease.

As per reports, 213 people have died due to coronavirus in China with 10000 cases of infections.

“Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a briefing in Geneva on Thursday.
