WHO chief on coronavirus: Global markets ‘should calm down and try to see the reality’
Market panic over the fast-spreading new coronavirus is uncalled for, the World Health Organization’s director-general said Sunday as governments around the world rush to contain its spread.
“Global markets … should calm down and try to see the reality,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told CNBC’s Hadley Gamble during a panel discussion in Riyadh. “We need to continue to be rational. Irrationality doesn’t help. We need to deal with the facts.”
