00:00Our work is not over. WHO will continue to work closely with experts in all affected countries.
00:06We have also requested countries to report regularly to WHO on the health and well-being of passengers and crew
00:13through the international health regulations.
00:16And WHO's assessment continues to be that the risk to health globally continues to be low.
00:24So far, 11 cases have been reported, including three deaths.
00:30All 11 cases are among passengers or crew on the ship.
00:35Nine of the 11 have been confirmed as on this virus, and the other two are probable.
00:42All suspected and confirmed cases have been isolated and managed under strict medical supervision, minimizing any risk of further transmission.
00:52At the moment, there is no sign that we are seeing the start of a larger outbreak.
01:00But of course, the situation could change.
01:03And given the long incubation period of the virus, it's possible we might see more cases in the coming weeks.
01:11WHO's recommendation is that they should be monitored actively at a specified quarantine facility or at home for 42 days
01:20from the last exposure,
01:22which is the 10th of May, which takes us to the 21st of June.
01:29Anyone who becomes symptomatic should be isolated and treated immediately.
01:33When the virus is admittedly.
