- The Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom, has asked that the decisions they took to lift the measures taken by the states to maintain the coronavirus be based on "the protection of human health" and, subsequently, on "the knowledge of the disease and its way of acting".
The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom, appeared before the media on 13 April. He has stated that the decline in coronavirus cases is "much slower" than the rate of spread around the world and that therefore the measures that have been established to maintain the pandemic must be "progressively" increased. The decision to lift these measures is based, firstly, on the need to "protect human health" and, subsequently, on "knowledge and how to act on the disease".
WHO Return Strategy
On 14 April, WHO will make public its strategy to help states return on a daily basis. As he advanced at the press conference the day before, the most important thing is to raise the measures when the transmission of the virus is controlled. That is, when health systems are able to detect, demonstrate and isolate patients.
