UN health agency chief says it would be first pandemic in history which could be controlled

The threat of coronavirus becoming a pandemic is now “very real”, ​the World Health Organisation has warned.

The UN health agency’s director general suggested the virus gaining “a foothold in so many countries” meant the risk of a pandemic had increased.

But, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it would be the first pandemic in history that could be controlled, adding: “The bottom line is: we are not at the mercy of this virus.”
