HIGHLIGHTS
• Six new Member States (Armenia, Czechia, Dominican Republic, Luxembourg,
Iceland, and Indonesia) reported cases of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours.
• A team of WHO experts has arrived in Tehran, Iran to support the COVID-19
response. The objectives are to identify transmission dynamics and at-risk
populations, and provide technical guidance. Further information can be found
here.
• Containment remains the top priority for all countries. Management for
COVID-19 globally, however, is not a one-size-fits-all approach and must be
tailored to the transmission scenario a country faces. Early robust measures
are key to saving lives and halting transmission, notes the WHO DirectorGeneral. More information can be found here.
• WHO’s Operations Supply and Logistics team are working across numerous
areas to support the COVID-19 response. Activities include working to establish
a Supply Chain Coordination Cell and providing a technical briefing for G20
members on the personal protective equipment (PPE) market situation. More
information can be found in the Subject in Focus.
