WHO Media
| Friday 12 February, 2021 Please find enclosed the link of the WHO Director-General's statement as well as other materials from the COVID-19 media briefing on 12 February and more: https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19-12-february-2021 - The independent expert team to study the origins of the COVID-19 virus has completed its trip to China. The expert team is working on a summary report which we hope will be published next week, and the full final report will be published in the coming weeks.
- The number of reported cases of COVID-19 globally has declined for the fourth week in a row, and the number of deaths also fell for the second consecutive week. These declines appear to be due to countries implementing public health measures more stringently.
- Earlier this week, WHO held a global meeting of patients, clinicians and other stakeholders to advance our understanding of what is officially called post-COVID-19 condition, or “long COVID”. WHO released a case reporting form that will allow more data to be collected on long COVID in a standardized way. This will help to improve the understanding, surveillance and clinical management of the condition.
- Yesterday was the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and I would like to pay tribute to all of the incredible women scientists who work for and with WHO all over the world.
