weekly by teleconference (COVID-19 Clinical Network) to share knowledge
and experiences from clinicians caring for COVID-19 patients and highlight
operational challenges and technical questions. For more details, please see
‘subject in focus’.
• At the Member States information session held today, WHO Director-General
reiterated that countries should not give up on stopping the outbreak now

mitigation would be wrong and dangerous. This is a controllable pandemic.
