Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Mar 22, 2020 | World Health Organization

In this publication by the WHO, three articles set out how countries can increase their preparedness and response to identify, manage and care for new cases of COVID-19. It emphasises the need to respond to different public health scenarios, recognizing that there is no single approach to managing outbreaks. Countries are called upon to assess their risk and rapidly implement the necessary measures at the appropriate scale, to reduce both transmission and economic and social impacts.
