World Health Organisation leaders countered allegations that WHO was delayed in warning the public about the danger of Coronavirus:
It's kind of weird. In the first weeks of January, O BSH was very, very clear. We warned the world 5 January. Institutions around the world, including the United States, started on January 6th to activate the management systems for the expected situations. In the following weeks, we have provided continuous information with recent news, including data about governments, as well as about scientists at different ends of the globe. The virus was identified on January 7. The sequence came on January 12,” says Dr. Michael Ryan.
O Emergency Software Director BSH, Dr. Michael Ryan says that the organisation's warning should have been followed by protective and prepared measures in individual countries:
When WHO issued instructions, it made it very clear that measures should be taken for a threat that hits the breathing system. The labs should have reacted to necessary measures, with the taking of samples for this disease not to spread from person to person,” WHO official says.
Furthermore, says Dr Ryan, the warning made clear the need for hospital reserves, including aspirins.
The organisation's Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebrreesus, confirmed that this was a difficult time but stressed that O The BSH would continue to stand by the countries facing this crisis:
We will continue to work with every partner to serve people in the world with a firm commitment to science and solidarity,” Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebrreesus.
Despite accusations and unwanted attention in this situation, the organization continues to work on finding a cure or a vaccine against the disease:
So far three vaccines are in clinical trials. More than 70 others are in the development process. We're working with partners to accelerate the process of development, production and distribution,” Dr. Adhanom Ghebrreesus.
