WHO Launches Broad Coronavirus Surveillance Network

A new initiative, known as the Coronavirus Network or CoViNet, will bring together experts in human, animal, and environmental health to monitor known coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, or MERS-CoV, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a recent statement. CoViNet will also aid in the early detection of novel coronaviruses. The network involves 36 laboratories across 21 countries, including the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
