The World Health Organization will meet in Geneva on the 22nd to discuss whether to characterize the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic as an international public health emergency. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that China will be invited to participate in the meeting with other countries affected by the epidemic.
Bloomberg quoted Takeshi Kasai, director of the WHO's Western Pacific Region, as saying that the current epidemic clearly shows that at least part of the human-to-human transmission has occurred in Wuhan. However, there is no clear evidence that the virus can easily spread from person to person, and WHO needs more information to analyze the situation.
