The World Health Organization has spoken of China's commitment to containing the coronavirus outbreak. The WHO says it appreciates China's transparency and timeliness in sharing relevant data, while warning world governments to stay alert. The UN agency will send a team of experts to help with the country's fight against the new virus and to increase understanding of the outbreak to guide global response efforts. WHO officials have also praised China's efforts, saying they have never seen an outbreak response at such scale and speed. The WHO will hold another meeting on Thursday to reassess the outbreak and decide if it amounts to a global health emergency.
