  • Description: The World Health Organization has declared the current novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak to be a public health emergency of international concern, as latest figures show that nearly 10 000 people have been infected and that over 200 have died. Little detail has been provided on these cases, but the Department of Health and Social Care reported that the patients were from the same family and were receiving specialist NHS care.1 The virus—believed to have originated from a seafood market in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019—has infected nearly 10 000 people worldwide as of 31 January and has resulted in the deaths of 213 people. [...]around 60 key research organisations and journals, including The BMJ, have signed a joint statement pledging to “rapidly and openly” share research data and findings relevant to the outbreak, to “inform the public health response and help save lives.”
