WHO is also actively watching this new outbreak and has asked Chinese Authorities for more detailed information on this mysterious pneumonia outbreak, its causes, and the lab reports so that WHO can guide and help China effectively manage this undiagnosed disease.
This new outbreak was reported in mid-October when several children suddenly fell sick, and hospitals started coping with problems with treating several cases. The patients are showing the symptoms of pneumonia and have not been linked with any known Pentagon yet.
Chinese officials from the Nationa Health Commission held a press conference on 13 November 2023 to report an increasing number of respiratory diseases within the country. The primary symptoms of this unknown disease are very similar to the symptoms of Pneumonia, including cough, fever, difficulty breathing, and sometimes the severe condition that needs to be admitted to the hospital.
ProMED, media, and public disease surveillance system reported on 21 November 2023 about the cluster of undigested pneumonia in children in Northern China; the same agency reported about the unknown spreading of the disease in earlier November 2019, which was later found to be the Covid 19 Pandemic.
WHO is seriously involved in the matter and asked Chinese authorities to provide detailed information on this mysterious pneumonia outbreak. WHO has said that it wants to understand the disease’s nature and guide and help China to battle and better manage it.
Apart from this, WHO has also issued an advisory to the public in the affected areas following some precautions such as practicing good hygiene, avoiding going outside in the affected areas, using masks, remaining indoors while feeling sick, and contacting health care experts immediately when feeling symptoms of respiratory illness.
