Summary: The World Health Organization has now declared the coronavirus outbreak in China to be a global health emergency. Officials in China confirmed more than 7,800 cases today (updated from video which states 6,000), with 212 deaths. The WHO said the virus is spreading worldwide, despite China’s efforts. “It’s not actually because China is not doing what it can. It’s actually doing more than China is required to do,” according to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). Meanwhile, health officials reported the first case of the virus spreading person-to-person in the United States. A Chicago man contracted it from his wife, who had been to China. The U.S. now has six confirmed cases in all.
