So #Covid19 is no longer a Public Health Event of International Concern #PHEIC . It is important to understand this DOES NOT mean it has stopped spreading or that it no longer represents a #publichealth risk or that covid related burden of disease is over. A quick explainer : 1/6
There are 3 criteria for @WHO to declare a #pheic according to the 2005 International Health Regulation: 1) an extraordinary event, 2) a public health risk to other States through the international spread, and 3) potentially requires a coordinated international response 2/6
All three criteria need to be fulfilled- once declared it triggers a specific response level globally, regionally and nationally. The status is reviewed regularly 3/6
