WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus insists that the UN health agency has provided sound advice from the beginning 'based on the best science and evidence.'
pointed out that the WHO warned the COVID-19 outbreak constituted a"Public Health Emergency of International Concern" on January 30, when there were no deaths and only 82 cases registered outside China.The organization has faced scathing criticism from US President Donald Trump, who earlier this month suspended Washington's funding after accusing WHO of downplaying the seriousness of the outbreak and kowtowing to China, where the novel coronavirus first surfaced late last year.
"You can check for yourselves: countries who followed that are in a better position than others. This is fact.""Each country takes its own responsibility." The pandemic has claimed more than 206,000 lives and infected nearly 3 million people, according to a tally from official sources compiled by Agence France-Presse Monday.
The United States has the highest number of deaths at nearly 55,000, out of close to one million registered cases. –
