The World Health Organization has declared Covid-19 a public health emergency.
Summary by NewsWall Apr 16 23
- Last Friday, the UN health agency's emergency committee on Covid-19 met for the 14th time since the crisis began.
- Following that meeting, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus "concurs with the advice offered by the committee regarding the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and determines that the event continues to constitute a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC)" according to a statement from the organization.
- Nearly 40,000 Covid-19 weekly deaths were documented in mid-January, with more than half of them occurring in China, while the true toll "is almost certainly much higher," he said.
