Humankind has never had a more urgent task than creating broad immunity for coronavirus. It’s going to require a global cooperative effort like the world has never seen. But I know we’ll get it done. There’s simply no alternative. https://t.co/lDRkgqJ39k
Nine years ago today, large swathes of the coast of Japan were hit by a powerful #tsunami made much more destructive by high levels of pollution. Scientists now call it a "black tsunami" following study of water samples taken at the time.
#COVID19 is an infectious disease caused by a new #coronavirus introduced to humans for the first time. It spreads from person to person mainly through the droplets produced when an infected person speaks, coughs or sneezes.
ICN #COVID19 update, CEO @HowardCatton: “In the fight against this new and deadly virus, #nurses are the front line of defence. We will continue to ensure that their voices are heard, press @WHO and governments to provide them with the needed resources.” https://t.co/4wQJHvWthd
The whole 🌍 is challenged with the #COVID19 outbreak, but this challenge reminds me once again why I am so very #ProudToBeWHO: my @WHO colleagues are working day & night to stop the outbreak, to provide the best advice & support to countries, to save lives, to keep the 🌍 safe.
#Coronavirus: @WHO is utilizing an international network of expert laboratories to provide support in the detection of the #COVIDー19 virus globally. More than 80,000 people in nearly 50 countries have been infected. Nearly 2,800 have died, the majority in China's Hubei province.
.@WHO just published guidance on how to prevent the spread of #COVID19 in a workplace & protect your customers, contractors &\ employees. We advise these measures to be taken now, even if #coronavirus hasn't arrived in communities where you operate. https://t.co/oDudAcNkuw
Everyone should clean hands frequently to ward off infections. Glad to see hand sanitizers throughout @MunSecConf. They keep us safe from flu, common cold, and #COVID19! Example of preparedness on a small scale #MSC2020 🇩🇪
This is what it’s all about. And yet, basically no one has even seen these figures. We need to communicate this everywhere over and over again. Let’s get started.
