1 year ago today, @DrTedros declared that the outbreak of #COVID19 constituted a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, the highest level of alarm 🚨 under international law.
By that time, WHO was already working closely with countries, sharing life-saving information on how to prepare and protect their people against #COVID19.
Less than 2 weeks after the first alerts about #COVID19, WHO published a set of advice to countries. We shipped test kits to labs around the 🌎🌍🌏.

The international team working to understand the origins of the #COVID19 virus completed its 2-week quarantine in Wuhan, #China on Thursday. As members start their field visits on Friday, they should receive the support, access and the data they need.
While in quarantine, the team had daily virtual meetings with Chinese scientists, who shared updates on relevant #COVID19 studies done in #China plus other information and experiences. The team made requests for detailed underlying data, among other things.
All hypotheses are on the table as the team follows the science in their work to understand the origins of the #COVID19 virus. The team will have their first face-to-face meeting with Chinese scientists on Friday and then begin field visits in and around Wuhan, #China.

Overcoming hunger & #malnutrition is more than securing enough food to survive: what people eat must also be nutritious.

Yet 3⃣ billion people cannot afford a healthy diet.
