New Delhi:
World Health Organisation today said that it now sees the coronavirus outbreak as a pandemic.
"We are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity and by the alarming levels of inaction," Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters in Geneva.
"We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterised as a pandemic."
The novel coronavirus has killed over 4,000 people across the world.
India is also grappling with the outbreak with 67 people tested positive for the virus. The government today suspended all visas to India. In an order this evening, the Union health ministry said all existing visas -- diplomatic, official, UN/International organizations, employment, project visas will be suspended till April 15.
