    • WASHINGTON — This is the sixth outbreak that the WHO has voted to assign the designation of public health emergency, defined by the group as “an extraordinary event which is determined to constitute a public health risk to other States through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response.”
    • The five other cases have been:
    • The 2009 swine flu epidemic that spread throughout the United States and Mexico.
    • The 2014 polio infection, spurred by an “international spread of wild poliovirus” that hit countries including conflict-ridden Pakistan, Cameroon and Syria.
    • The 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa, which the WHO said “was the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the virus was first discovered in 1976.”
    • The 2016 Zika virus, which was spread by mosquitoes throughout the Americas and Africa and was particularly dangerous for pregnant women.
    • The 2018 Ebola epidemic in North Kivu and Ituri provinces of the Congo, which was the world’s second-largest Ebola outbreak. The WHO controversially waited until 2019 to declare it a public health emergency.
