Today marks 100 days since @WHO was notified of the first cases of what we now call #COVID19 in 🇨🇳
Over 1.3M people have been infected & almost 80K have lost their lives.
This pandemic is much more than a health crisis. It requires a whole-of government & society response.
.@WHO's been working day & night to fight #COVID19 in 5 key areas:
-Supporting countries to prepare & respond
-Providing accurate information & fighting the infodemic
-Ensuring supply of medical equipment for #healthworkers
-Training & mobilizing health workers
-Accelerating R&D
Our focus has been on working with countries & partners to bring the world together to confront this common threat together.
We've been especially concerned with protecting the world’s poorest & most vulnerable, not just in the poorest countries, but in all countries. #COVID19
