Quarantined - The Policy Response to Wuhan Virus

With nearly 800 people diagnosed with the mysterious coronavirus sweeping the cities of Wuhan and Huanggang in China, the WHO has determined that the outbreak is an emergency- within China, not on an international scale. So for some insight into the policy responses being carried out, we spoke to Dr Ying-ru Lo, WHO Representative to Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Singapore, about the responses from China and other countries in the region, as well as the policy lessons learned from the SARS apidemic.
