Media briefing on #COVID19 and climate change with @DrTedros and @GretaThunberg pscp.tv/w/c0xCbDI2MTAy…
"Last week, new cases of #COVID19 increased for the eighth week in a row, with more than 5.2 million cases reported - the most in a single week so far.

Deaths rose for the fifth straight week, and more than 3 million deaths have now been reported to WHO"-@DrTedros
"It took 9 months to reach 1 million deaths; 4 months to reach 2 million, and 3 months to reach 3 million.

Big numbers can make us numb. But each one of these deaths is a tragedy for families, communities and nations"-@DrTedros #COVID19

Media briefing on #COVID19 with @DrTedros pscp.tv/w/c0frIzI2MTAy…
"Around the 🌍, #COVID19 cases & deaths are continuing to increase at worrying rates. Globally, the number of new cases per week has nearly doubled over the past two months. This is approaching the highest rate of infection that we have seen so far during the pandemic"-@DrTedros
"Some countries that had previously avoided widespread #COVID19 transmission are now seeing steep increases in infections.

One of those countries is #PapuaNewGuinea. Until the beginning of this year, 🇵🇬 had reported less than 900 cases, and just 9 deaths"-@DrTedros

None of the 43 antibiotics that are currently in clinical development sufficiently address the problem of drug resistance in the world’s most dangerous bacteria.
▶️ bit.ly/3mPCl5h
Almost all the new antibiotics that have been brought to market in recent decades are variations of antibiotic drugs classes that had been discovered by the 1980s.

The #COVID19 pandemic is a challenging time, for children, parents and caregivers.
Doing a few simple activities with your child can provide them with vital comfort and love during these uncertain times.
Exercise helps kids with a lot of energy (and adults) to de-stress when we #StayHome

Let your child choose the music and have a 10-minute dance! You might even impress them with your moves! 🕺🏼👯💃🏼

Catch bad behaviour early and redirect your kids' attention from a bad to a good behaviour.

Clear, positive instructions get us the behaviour that we want. Swap ‘don’t make a mess’ for ‘please put away your pens’
