CLEAN : China virus: WHO welcomes very strong measures taken by China

The video discusses the rapid response to the novel coronavirus, highlighting the quick sequencing and sharing of data that enabled countries like Korea, Japan, and Thailand to diagnose the virus swiftly. It emphasizes the importance of immediate actions and strong measures to control outbreaks and prevent international spread. The need for caution and continuous assessment of potential mutations is stressed, along with strategies to limit human-to-human and zoonotic transmission, particularly in healthcare settings.

What was a key factor that allowed countries like Korea, Japan, and Thailand to quickly diagnose the novel coronavirus?

• Immediate action in seafood markets

• Rapid sequencing and sharing of information

• Identifying animal sources

• Strong measures and full commitment

Why is it important for countries to take strong actions against the outbreak?

• To reduce the stability of the virus

• To ensure significant mutations occur

• To control the outbreak and minimize international spread

• To increase the number of seafood markets

What is a concern despite the current stability of the virus?

• The virus may become less stable

• Significant mutations can occur at any time

• The virus will not spread internationally

• The virus will only affect animals

What is the primary issue in controlling the spread of the virus?

• Increasing human-to-human transmission

• Identifying new seafood markets

• Limiting human-to-human transmission

• Encouraging zoonotic transmission

Why is identifying animal sources important in controlling the virus?

• To increase zoonotic transmission

• To prevent international travel

• To limit exposure to those sources

• To enhance human-to-human transmission
