Virus corona: Arab Saudi laporkan kasus pertama saat wabah Covid-19 mencapai 'tahap baru'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fbusItiuBQ
Kepala WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, mengatakan dunia memasuki 'wilayah baru' terkait wabah virus corona.
Ia menyebut virus corona baru ini "unik" namun bisa diatasi dengan langkah-langkah yang tepat.
Jumlah kematian akibat wabah ini telah melebihi 3.000 orang di seluruh dunia. Sebagian besar berada di China tetapi selama sehari terakhir terdapat sembilan kali lebih banyak infeksi baru di luar China daripada di dalamnya.
Arab Saudi melaporkan kasus virus corona pertamanya, beberapa hari setelah melarang warga asing melakukan perjalanan umrah ke Mekah dan Madinah.
Arab Saudi tangguhkan sementara visa jemaah umrah, Indonesia minta pengecualian 'karena tak terpapar virus corona'
WHO tak terkejut dengan dua kasus Covid-19 di Indonesia dan perkirakan akan muncul kasus-kasus lain
Seperti apa gejala Covid-19 dan berapa persen tingkat kematian sejauh ini
Upaya menyelamatkan hewan terlantar di tengah wabah virus corona
Dr. Tedros menegaskan: "Kita bisa melawan virus ini". Ia juga mengatakan bahwa stigma lebih berbahaya daripada penyakit itu sendiri.
Sang direktur WHO mengatakan perkembangan penyakit Covid-19 secara global bukanlah "jalan satu arah" dan bisa dilawan jika negara-negara bertindak dengan cepat dan efektif — dimulai dari langkah-langkah penahanan.
Mission of WHO experts arrive in Iran2 March 2020Landing in Tehran, the experts aim to identify transmission dynamics and at-risk populations, as well as provide guidance on strengthening and scaling up the response and readiness efforts. The mission arrived along with a shipment containing medical supplies and protective equipment to support over 15,000 health care workers and enough laboratory kits to test and diagnose nearly 100,000 people.

WHO has worked with UNICEF and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies on a guide to preventing and addressing the social stigma associated with the disease. It's vital to fight stigma because it can drive people to hide the illness, not seek health care immediately and discourage them from adopting healthy behaviours. This guide includes some tips and messages, as well as dos and don'ts on language when talking about COVID-19. Given that #COVID19 is a new disease, it is understandable that its emergence and spread cause confusion, anxiety and fear among the general public. These factors can give rise to harmful stereotypes.https://t.co/7kH9y0NViC #coronavirus pic.twitter.com/5CQK2OSNih — World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) February 25, 2020 Key materials: Guide to preventing and addressing social stigma WHO-China joint mission shares findings and recommendations25 February 2020The team of 25 international and Chinese experts travelled to several different provinces, with a small group going to Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak.

These measures will advance scientific understanding of the virus and contribute to the development of medical countermeasures such as vaccines and treatments. The two sides agreed that WHO would send international experts to visit China as soon as possible to work with Chinese counterparts on increasing understanding of the outbreak to guide global response efforts.
