Source: World Health Organization (WHO). Published: 1/9/2020. The main aim of this five-page tool is to better understand existing capacities in the area of detection and response to a novel coronavirus (nCoV) that is zoonotic and causes respiratory disease. The tool was developed with other coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, in mind and in consultation with member states. This information will help national authorities to identify main gaps, perform risk assessments, and plan for additional investigations, response, and control actions. (PDF)
