Description
Summary:	The event that commenced in Wuhan, Peoples' Republic of China, in December 2019, continues to spread relentlessly. [...]February 28, 2020, the WHO has reported 85,403 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Need for a sensitive surveillance system at human-animal interface The recent events have reinforced the need for a global sensitive surveillance system that can detect these viruses during early phase of outbreak and facilitate mounting of appropriate non-pharmaceutical interventions to prevent their spread and amplification. Since these viruses have originated from human-animal interface, a system that integrates surveillance by human health and animal health sectors needs to be evolved in true spirit of One Health for early detection and efficient response to spillover of such viruses. The scope and purpose of IHR (2005) has been to prevent, protect against, control and provide a public health response to the international spread of diseases in ways that are commensurate with and restricted to public health risks. Since its entry into force in 2007, signatory States have been working, individually and collectively, to meet their core capacity requirements under the new framework.
