WHO Urges Reinforcement of Masks, Social Distancing&Staying Home

People  should wear masks, socially distance and stay home if unwell amid an outbreak of a mystery respiratory illness, global health chiefs have warned.

Health facilities are 'overwhelmed with sick children' and classes are on the verge of being suspended according to local news reports, hospitals in Beijing and in Liaoning.

Infected children are presenting with lung inflammation and a high fever, but not a cough or other symptoms that signal flu, RSV or another respiratory illnesses.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has urged residents to don face coverings, stay away from ill people and remain at home if unwell. It has also called for the famously opaque nation to share 'detailed information' on the outbreak.
