　　The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared (宣布) the new coronavirus (冠狀病毒) outbreak a global public health emergency after the spread of the disease across the world. WHO made the decision in its third meeting about the coronavirus, after it decided not to take such a step in the first two meetings.

　　Officially called a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), it is considered to be a public health risk through the international spread of disease. It suggests a serious, sudden and unusual situation in which the world must act quickly.

　　Since 2009, there have been a few global health emergencies, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic (豬流感) and the 2014 outbreak of ebola in West Africa.

　　The new coronavirus has got attention because of its similarity to SARS which killed about 800 people across the world in 2002-2003. So far, the new coronavirus does not seem to be as deadly as SARS, but there have been more cases.

　　Its declaration could cause trade and travel restrictions (限制). Those who have made holiday plans might have their plans affected (受影響的) in some parts of the world.
