Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19): Q&A on Global Implications And
Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19): Q&A on Global Implications and Responses April 17, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46319 SUMMARY R46319 Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19): Q&A on April 17, 2020 Global Implications and Responses Tiaji Salaam-Blyther, On December 31, 2019, Chinese authorities informed the World Health Organization (WHO) Coordinator about a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Illnesses have since been Specialist in Global Health linked to a disease caused by a previously unidentified strain of coronavirus, widely known as COVID-19. The disease quickly became a pandemic, and has spread to over 150 countries, including the United States. WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020, raised its global risk assessment to "Very High" on February 28, and labeled the outbreak a "pandemic" on March 11. In using the term pandemic, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus cited COVID-19's "alarming levels of spread and severity" and governments' "alarming levels of inaction." As of April 15, 2020, almost 2 million confirmed COVID-19 cases, and more than 120,000 confirmed deaths, of which over half of all cases and nearly 70% of all deaths were identified in Europe. Congress has demonstrated strong interest in ending the pandemic domestically and globally, having introduced 50 pieces of legislation on the matter (see the Appendix). Individual countries are carrying out not only domesitic but also international efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic, with the WHO issuing guidance, coordinating some international research and related findings, and coordinating health aid in low-resource settings.
