O BSH requires $675 million in assistance to fight the Coronavirus

World Health Organisation General Director (OBSH), Tedros Adhanom Ghebrreesus, called on the international community for $675m in aid for a more effective fight against the Devi-19 epidemic, which emerged in the town of Wuhan in the Hubei region of China.

In a statement from the O account BSH on Twitter, Ghebrees reminded that they recently posted the strategic “plan and intervention” concerning the virus. He called on donor countries for $675m in assistance to use in countries where the virus has spread mainly to <x2 countries that have the lowest health system”.

“In Africa we've set 13 priority places, these countries that are directly related to China or that people in these countries have made more frequent trips to China”, Ghebraes said. After sharing information that over six priority countries in Africa have sent more than 30 thousand personal protection units, Ghebraesus said that next week, under the virus's war, he will send another 60 thousand health equipment to 19 countries.

With the African Union Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), we have made strict preparations against the possibility of coming to countries in the region. Our biggest concern is that the potential of Ovid-19 continues to spread to countries with poor health systems”, said Ghebraesus. After mentioning the coronavisur's definition of 10 people in Iran and increasing the death to 5, Ghebraesus said that “we are mainly concerned about increasing cases in Iran's Islamic Republic”.

We remember that over 2,360 people have died from Coved-19 in the world, and over 77 thousand others have been infected by the virus.
