WHO is working to track down the animal reservoir of the #COVID19 virus. Understanding how an epidemic began is essential to preventing further introductions to the human population. bit.ly/3mVER96
In May, the #WHA73 passed a resolution tasking WHO, @OIEAnimalHealth, @FAO and countries, as part of the One Health Approach, with identifying the zoonotic source of the #COVID19 virus and the route of introduction to humans. bit.ly/3l9a5Jm
@OIEAnimalHealth @FAO Given the scale and complexity of the #COVID19 pandemic, a sustained set of investigations in #China and elsewhere is needed to find the intermediate host(s) and virus origins.

"These discussions between health, water and finance ministers are among the most important meetings of the year. Investing in water, sanitation and hygiene is critical to preventing both pandemics and local outbreaks. Its absence leaves us exposed"-@DrTedros at #2020FMM
"In fact, one of our most fundamental public health measures fails in much of Africa and around the world because hundreds of millions of people cannot wash their hands. That includes #healthworkers in one out of three health care facilities globally"-@DrTedros #2020FMM
"You already know the basics: WASH is a first line of defence against #COVID19 and so many other diseases, ​such as diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid, malnutrition, influenza and pneumonia"-@DrTedros #2020FMM
