The World Health Organization has been the subject of the expansion of the complaint in weeks for its management of the coronavirus pandemic.
While an independent assessment of WHO’s reaction to COVID-19 is still underway, here is a review of some of the movements taken through the United Nations Global Health Group and the resulting controversy.
The following calendar comes with all occasions related to coronavirus or WHO activities.
THE WHO country in China has obtained a press release from the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission on its online page on cases of “viral pneumonia” in the city of Wuhan in central China.
The country’s workplace then informed the focal point of the International Health Regulations at the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific of the media on cases and provided a translation.
WHO’s epidemic intelligence platform from open sources compiled a media report on the same organization of “pneumonia of unknown cause” cases in Wuhan.
Several fitness governments around the world have contacted WHO for additional information.
WHO has requested data from the Chinese government on the organization of reported pneumonia cases in Wuhan.
The organization has also activated its incident control team as a component of its emergency reaction framework.
The WHO representative in China wrote to China’s National Health Commission, providing and repeating the request for additional data on the case group.
WHO has informed its partners in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) of the organization of pneumonia cases in China. GOARN partners come with primary public fitness agencies, laboratories, UN sister agencies, foreign organizations and NGOs.
Chinese officials report to WHO on the wave of known cases of “viral pneumonia of unknown cause” in Wuhan.
WHO posted on Twitter that there were several cases of pneumonia, death, in Wuhan, and that research was underway to identify the cause.
#China reported on an organization of #neumonía-death cases to WHO in Wuhan, Hubei province ??. Research is underway to identify the cause of this disease.

WHO has shared detailed data on cases of pneumonia, of unknown cause, through a formula of data available to all member states of the organization. The notice provided case data and urged Member States to take precautions against the threat of acute respiratory infections.
WHO also published its first report on disease epidemics containing data on the number of cases, clinical prestige of the patient, the main points of the Wuhan National Authority’s reaction measures, as well as threat assessment and WHO recommendation on public aptitude measures. The report stated that “WHO recommendations on public fitness measures and surveillance of influenza and severe acute respiratory infections are still implemented”.
WHO reported that the Chinese government had decided that the outbreak was caused by a new coronavirus.
The organization then organized the first of many teleconferences with expert networks.
The WHO Global Coordination Mechanism (GCM) for Research and Development, established in 2017 to save it and respond to epidemics, held its first teleconference on the new coronavirus, as well as the Scientific Advisory Group on Research and Development, a comprehensive strategy and preparation. plan for the immediate activation of studies and epidemic progression activities.
WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus met with the head of China’s National Health Commission and won a call for percentage data with the Director of China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
The WHO Technical and Strategic Advisory Group on Infectious Risks held its first meeting on the new coronavirus outbreak.
WHO has published the first protocol for an opposite transcription polymerized chain reaction (RT-PCR) through a spouse laboratory to diagnose the new coronavirus.
WHO held a press conference in which epidemiologist Dr Maria D. Van Kerkhove said that, based on experience with respiratory pathogens, there was the possibility of person-to-person transmission among the 41 cases recently shown in China. “In fact, it’s conceivable that the transmission from person to person is limited,” he said.
WHO then tweeted that initial investigations through the Chinese government had not uncovered “no transparent evidence of human-to-human transmission.” In its threat assessment, WHO stated that “additional research was necessary to determine the presence of human-to-human transmission, modes of transmission, the usual source of exposure, and the presence of asymptomatic or symptomatic cases that are not detected”.

WHO welcomed the first of the Working Group on The Analysis and Modelling of the New Coronavirus.
The WHO Advisory and Oversight Committee for Health Emergencies, which frequently reviews the organization’s tables in physical emergencies, held its first teleconference on WHO’s reaction to the new coronavirus outbreak.
The committee alerted the organization of the case in Wuhan on 2 January, and WHO said it had been offering regular updates to the committee since 6 January.
WHO carried out its first project in Wuhan and met with public fitness officials to receive more information on the reaction to the new coronavirus case group.
The WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific tweeted that it is now very clear, according to the latest information, that there is “at least some person-to-person transmission” and that infections among fitness personnel were reinforcing evidence.
Meanwhile, the United States has reported its first case of the new coronavirus.
Following its project in Wuhan, WHO issued an indication that the evidence advised a human-to-human transproject in the Chinese city, but that additional research was needed to perceive the full scope of the transproject.
WHO Director-General Tedros has convened an emergency committee on the new coronavirus outbreak. The committee was composed of 15 independent experts from around the world and was tasked with advising Tedros on whether the outbreak constituted a public aptitude emergency of foreign interest.
However, the committee was unable to reach a conclusion on 22 January on the basis of the limited available data. Then Tedros asked them to continue their deliberations the next day.
The emergency committee met on 23 January and members were also divided on whether the outbreak was a foreign fear public fitness emergency. Several members noted that there is still not enough data to comment on, as only a foreign fear public fitness emergency can be declared; there is no level of intermediate alert.
For example, committee members did not tell Tedros that this was a public aptitude emergency of foreign interest, but they said they were in a position to meet within 10 days. The committee made recommendations for WHO, China and other countries, as well as for the global community.
A high-level WHO delegation led by Director-General Tedros arrived in Beijing to meet with Chinese leaders, learn more about the country’s reaction, and provide technical assistance.
Tedros met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and discussed additional collaboration on containment measures in Wuhan, public aptitude measures in other cities and provinces, conducting further studies on the severity and transmissibility of the virus, proceeding with percentage data and a request for percentage from China. biological curtains with WHO. They agreed that a foreign team of leading scientists deserves China to better perceive the context and overall response, as well as to exchange data and experiences.
On his return from China to Switzerland, the Director-General of WHO presented an update to Member States on the reaction to the epidemic. He also announced that the emergency committee would meet the next day to imply whether the outbreak is a public fitness emergency of foreign interest.
Tedros said it had founded the resolution to reconvene the committee on the “deeply troubling” continued accumulation of cases and evidence of person-to-person transmission outside China, as well as figures outside China that can cause much of a larger epidemic, even if they were still small.
WHO then held the first of its weekly informal discussions with an organization of public fitness officials from around the world. The organization has also published tips on wearing masks in the community, home care and on fitness facilities.
The Director-General of WHO reconvened the emergency committee, which then said that the epidemic now met the criteria for a public aptitude emergency of interest.
Tedros accepted the committee’s recommendation and stated that the new coronavirus outbreak was a public aptitude emergency of foreign interest. At the time, there were 98 cases and no deaths in 18 outdoor countries in China. Four countries (Germany, Japan, the United States and Vietnam) had evidence (eight cases) of person-to-person transmission outside China.
The committee provided recommendations for China, as well as for all countries and the global community, which Tedros accepted and issued as transitority recommendations for the International Health Regulations.
The first of RT-PCR’s laboratory diagnostic kits sent to WHO regional offices worldwide.
WHO has finalized its strategic preparedness and reaction plan, focused on the ability to detect, prepare and respond to the epidemic. The plan translated what has been learned about the new coronavirus to date into strategic actions to advise the progression of national and regional operational plans.
WHO Director-General Tedros has asked the UN Secretary-General to activate the UN’s crisis control policy, which held its first assembly a week later.
WHO held a technical briefing on the new coronavirus outbreak at the 146th Executive Board consultation. In his opening address, Tedros suggested that Member States prepare by acting now, saying: “We have a window of opportunity. While 99% of cases are in China, in the rest of the world we have 176 cases.”
Responding to a consultation at the Executive Board meeting, WHO officials said, “It is imaginable that there are asymptomatic Americans excreting the virus, but we want more detailed studies on this to find out how occasionally this happens and whether it leads to secondary transmission.” . “
WHO headquarters in Geneva began holding media briefings on the new coronavirus, the first time the organization held briefings through the Director-General or Executive Director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme.
WHO has deployed a complex team for its joint project with China, after receiving approval from the Chinese government the previous day. The team completed five days of extensive project preparation, in collaboration with China’s National Health Commission, the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, local partners and similar entities, and THE WHO country in China.
WHO has announced that the disease through the new coronavirus will be called COVID-19.
Meanwhile, the UN crisis control policy held its first assembly on the epidemic.
WHO organized a Global Research and Innovation Forum on the new coronavirus, attended by more than 300 experts and donors from 48 countries, and another 150 joined online. Participants met to assess the knowledge point, identify gaps and paintings to drive and fund precedence research.
The joint WHO-China project has begun to work. Teams made cash visits to Beijing, Guangdong, Sichuan and Wuhan as a component of the purpose of assessing the severity of the new disease, its transproject dynamics and nature and having an effect on China’s control measures. The project consisted of 25 domestic and foreign experts from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Russia, Singapore, the United States and WHO.
Throughout the global epidemic, WHO said it sent missions to various countries, such as Italy, to be informed and assist in responses.
WHO has presented its weekly briefings on COVID-19 with its member states.
The Director-General of WHO appointed six special envoys to COVID-19 to provide strategic advice, high-level political advocacy and participation activities in parts of the world.
Joint WHO-China project leaders held a press convention to report on key findings.
Mission leaders warned that “a giant component of the global network is not yet ready, in a mental and material state, to put into effect the measures that have been used to involve COVID-19 in China.” They are also under pressure that “to reduce diseases and deaths due to COVID-19, short-term preparedness plans will have to come with the large-scale implementation of high-quality non-pharmaceutical public aptitude measures,” such as detection and isolation, tactile search, and surveillance. / quarantine and network participation.
Based on the results, recommendations were made for China, countries with imported outbreaks and/or non-inflamed countries.
WHO also has operational considerations for case control and coVID-19 outbreaks on board ships.
The WHO-China joint project published its report as a benchmark for countries on measures to involve COVID-19.
While the overall number of cases shown with COVID-19 exceeded 100,000, WHO called on countries to act to stop, contain, control, stop and decrease the effect of the virus on each and every opportunity.
The organization has also published a consolidated set of existing rules covering preparation, preparation and intervention movements for 4 other transmission scenarios: no cases, sporadic cases, case equipment and network transmission.
As the new coronavirus continued to spread around the world, WHO estimated that COVID-19 could be classified as a pandemic.
Speaking in the briefing, the Director-General of WHO presses that “all countries can still replace the course of this pandemic” if they “detect, test, treat, isolate, insens and mobilize their population in response”.
“We can’t say it loud enough, neither obvious enough nor enough, ” said Tedros. “The challenge for many countries that now face giant clusters or network transmission is not whether they can do the same, but whether they will.”
The Director-General of WHO announced that Europe had the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, with more cases and deaths reported than the rest of the world combined, with the exception of China.
WHO has issued recommendations on the laboratory strategy for COVID-19, as many Member States faced capacity gaps.
The United Nations Global Humanitarian Action Plan presented through the Director-General of WHO, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Un United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and the Executive Director of UNICEF.
WHO has also updated its operational plan rules to help countries balance coVID-19 direct reaction needs while protecting fitness workers, maintaining an essential fitness and mitigating the threat of formula collapse.
The DIRECTOR-General of WHO addressed the regular G20 summit on COVID-19 through a videoconvention and called on G20 leaders to fight, join and oppose the coronavirus pandemic.
At that time, WHO had shipped nearly 2 million pieces of individual protective devices to 74 countries that needed them most, and working with various partners to massively build access to survival products, adding diagnostics, non-public protective devices, medical oxygen and fans. .
WHO has reported evidence of transmission from other symptomatic, presymptomatic and asymptomatic persons inflamed with COVID-19, and noted that transmission of a presymptomatic case would likely occur before symptoms appear.
WHO reported that more than one million cases of COVID-19 had been shown worldwide, reportedly accumulating more than ten times in less than a month.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he is stopping WHO investment as his management reviews the agency’s management of the coronavirus pandemic.
“With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are deeply involved in the generosity of America being made the most of,” Trump said at his evening press conference. “The truth is that WHO has failed to obtain percentage data properly, at the right time and transparent.”
Trump accused WHO of “severely managing and concealing the spread of the coronavirus” and calling his opposition to US restrictions on China in the early months of the outbreak “disastrous.” While WHO described these prohibitions as “ineffective in peak situations” at the time, THE organization stated that it could save countries time to “initiate and implement effective preparedness measures”.
The WHO Director-General convened the emergency committee on COVID-19 for the third time, with an expanded composition to reflect the nature of the pandemic and the desire for more experience.
The committee met and issued its the next day.
The Director-General of WHO said the COVID-19 outbreak remains a worrying public health emergency. It accepted the committee’s recommendation and made transitional recommendations.
Tedros also accepted the committee’s view that “WHO is being implemented to identify the animal source of the virus in foreign clinical and collaborative missions”.
The WHO Advisory and Oversight Committee for Health Emergencies has finalized its interim report on the WHO reaction to COVID-19 from January to April.
The committee continued with WHO paintings on the coronavirus pandemic and said it would report on this at the next whoabre assembly of governing bodies.
The World Health Assembly, a WHO decision-making body, met through a video convention for its 73rd annual meeting, the first to be held virtually.
During the meeting, delegates followed a historic solution calling on the Director-General of WHO to publish an impartial, independent and comprehensive assessment of the reaction to COVID-19. He also called on the Director General to work with other organizations and countries “to identify zoonotics of the virus and the pathway of advent in the human population.”
The solution suggested that Member States take several steps, adding to WHO “sustainable financing” and “timely, accurate and sufficiently detailed public aptitude data on the COVID-19 pandemic, as required by the International Health Regulations”. The document also called for, inter alia, intensifying efforts to combat the pandemic, equitable access and equitable distribution of all technologies and fitness products essential for combating the virus.
The solution co-sponsored across more than 130 countries, the largest amount ever recorded, and was followed by consensus.
Speaking to the World Health Assembly, U.S. Secretary of Health Alex Azar said WHO had allowed the pandemic to be “uncontrollable” in charge of “many lives.”
“There was a failure by this organization to obtain the information that the world needed,” Azar said.
Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that his country would donate $2 billion over two years to help other countries respond to the devastating effects of the pandemic. It is not clear without delay how much of that cash would pass to WHO.
In his final comments, the Director-General of WHO explained how the organization fights the virus with all the equipment at his disposal, saying, “Let our shared humanity be the antidote to our unusual threat.”
Trump announced that his leadership would end with WHO on the organization’s control of the pandemic.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Rose Garden, Trump said Chinese officials had “ignored their obligations to inform” WHO about the fatal virus and stressed that the UN firm will “deceive the world.” (The United States is the largest source of money for WHO).
“China has generally surpassed the World Health Organization even though it will pay only $40 million a year compared to what the United States will pay, or about $450 million a year,” Trump said, adding that his administration would “redirect” cash to “other urgent global and worthy public conditioning needs.” , without providing details.
Trump had cut off investment for the 194-member organization in the past and then, in a May 18 letter, gave WHO 30 days to devote to reforms.
WHO Director-General Tedros shared a new direction on the use of masks for fitness staff and the general public on new findings of “evolving evidence”.
Tedros begged anyone who ran in the clinical spaces of a gym, not just those treating patients with COVID-19, to wear a medical mask. He stated that for communities where transmission is widespread, members of the general public over the age of 60, as well as those with underlying fitness problems, wear medical mask in conditions where physical distance is not possible. The general public now wears non-medical masks in widespread transmission spaces and when physical distance is difficult, such as on public transport, in department stores or in other confined or overcrowded environments, Tedros added.
The Director General also issued new rules on fabric masks, recommending that they consist of at least 3 other layers of materials.
Tedros begged other people in poor physical condition to wear a mask if they had to faint, even if they were invited to stay in the house. He stated that domestic caregivers deserve to wear a mask to protect themselves and prevent further transmission, and that fitness personnel deserve to wear a medical mask and other protective apparatus when treating suspected or shown COVID-19 patients.
“I can’t say enough obviously: the mask alone will probably not protect you from COVID-19,” Tedros said. “Masks do not replace physical remoteness, hand hygiene and other measures of public fitness. Masks are only useful as a component of an integral technique for combat opposite COVID-19”.
“The cornerstone of the reaction in each of the countries will have to be to find, isolate, control and treat each case, and to insinuate and quarantine each of the contacts,” he added. “That’s what we know works. It is the most productive defense of all countries that oppose COVID-19.”
The Swedish state epidemiologist accused WHO of misinterpreting the knowledge of COVID-19 and exaggerating the fitness hazards facing his country, after the organization warned that Sweden and 10 other European countries were experiencing an increase in infections.
Dr Anders Tegnell, the architect of Sweden’s open reaction to its new coronavirus outbreak, said WHO had made a “total mistake” by adding the Nordic country to a list showing where “accelerated transmission has led to a very significant resurgence that, if left unfulfilled, will push fitness systems back to the breaking point in Europe.” The list, which named 11 countries, ignored the nuances of Sweden’s strategy, according to Tegnell.
“We have more instances since we tested many more instances in Sweden last week,” Tegnell told Swedish public radio. “But we can take a look at all the other parameters we measure, that is, the number of serious cases we have; are declining.”
The U.S. has notified WHO that it will officially withdraw from the company next year to a senior trump management official.
“The U.S. Notice of Withdrawal, 6 July 2021, has been submitted to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who is the custodian of WHO,” the official said in a written statement.
The United Nations demonstrated that it had won the charter and verified with WHO that the United States met the withdrawal requirements, adding a year of realization and payment of all monetary obligations.
Contacted through ABC News, a WHO spokesperson had additional details.
WHO has announced the publication of the Independent Panel on Pandemic Preparedness and Response to assess the reaction to the coronavirus pandemic.
They said the panel will be led by former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark and former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and will provide an interim report in November. A background report on fitness outcomes will be presented at the 74th World Health Assembly next year.
“This is the time for non-public reflection, to take a look at the world we live in and to locate tactics for our collaboration as we paint together to save lives and control this pandemic,” Tedros said. “The scale of this pandemic, which has affected virtually everyone in the world, obviously deserves a measured assessment.”
WHO noted that the organization’s creation was not similar to that of the United States, however, a reaction to the application in a landmark solution continued through the World Health Assembly in May.
WHO experts have turned to China to paint with their Chinese counterparts to prepare clinical plans to identify the zoonotic source of COVID-19, as a component of a foreign WHO-led project to advance the host animal’s understanding of the new virus and how the disease has jumped between animals and humans.
