Leaving no one behind in health has taken on a greater sense of urgency during the COVID-19 pandemic. On a country visit coinciding with World Health Day, the WHO Regional Director for Europe, Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, highlighted the importance of equity in health to decision-makers, while also meeting with patients and health-care workers delivering health care to people who find themselves in difficult circumstances.
Vaccination against COVID-19 is an important part of bringing the pandemic to an end. But key to the ongoing roll-out is ensuring that priority groups are vaccinated no matter their status or living conditions.

BUCHAREST, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) With the beginning of the second semester, in-person classes resumed on Monday in most kindergartens and schools in Romania, after three months of online courses.
As many as 2.13 million preschoolers and students attended school on the first day of the new semester, out of a total of 2.918 million across the country, local media reported, and Education Minister Sorin Cimpeanu believed that the number of students attending classes in schools may increase.
Since early last November, all kindergartens and schools had switched to online teaching, due to the severe epidemic in the eastern European country.
