LIVE NOW: @DrTedros at the @MunSecConf πŸ‘‡

#MSC2021 #COVID19

"When I spoke at the @MunSecConf a year ago, I said that #COVID19 was β€œpublic enemy number one”. At the time, 99% of cases were still in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³, but I said that all countries had to be prepared. Afterwards, some people came up to me and said, β€œTedros, you’re exaggerating.”"-@DrTedros
"Unfortunately, in the past year we have all learned some painful lessons.
Although the #COVID19 pandemic is a 🌍 health crisis, it is an uneven pandemic – not all countries have responded in the same way & not all countries have been affected in the same way"-@DrTedros #MSC2021
