17 people have died as a result of Corona virus, China closes Wuhan City
China closed Wuhan City, which has been the center of the Corona Virus in recent times. This decision was taken on Thursday (1/23) after the death toll reached 17 people and as many as 600 people were infected.
Reported by Reuters , the local government informed all transportation networks were stopped and flights out of Wuhan were delayed since 10:00 am. The dangerous virus has spread to several countries such as Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the United States.

One public transportation facility, the Hankou train station, was reportedly almost empty with a locked fence. Then, to anticipate the spread of the virus, the local government asked residents not to leave Wuhan City unless it was urgent.
Security officers patrol the main streets. A number of videos circulating on social media show long lines at several refueling stations even though the government has not reported any private vehicles belonging to residents who have left the city.

When compared with the Heavy Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2002 and 2003 which killed nearly 800 people, the government in Beijing requested that the relevant authorities diligently report developments on this new type of Corona Virus. According to the government, this is to avoid panic ahead of the Chinese New Year holiday this weekend.
As reported by Xinhua , Premier Deputy Sun Chunlan said all the authorities were important to be open about the spread of the virus. If necessary, China brings in global health experts. This is the same as the request of the WHO World Health Organization last week.
According to WHO, this step is very important so that other countries can understand and take preventive action before there are citizens who are infected. The virus was first reported to WHO in China on December 31, 2019.
3. WHO canceled the emergency situation

Initially, WHO planned to announce a declaration of a global health emergency situation on Wednesday (22/1). Reporting from CNBC , WHO later canceled the decision. Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said experts still need more information.
The meeting is rumored to be continuing in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday (1/23). "Today there was an extraordinary discussion during the committee meeting, but it is also clear that to continue, we need more information," Tedros told media members.
