Last Updated: COVID-19: WHO Calls For global Expansion Of Genomic Sequencing To Combat New Strains the WHO s emergency committee on January 15 called for globally ramped up COVID-19 sequencing studies in a bid to combat the new strains. The World Health Organisation’s sixth emergency committee on January 15 called for globally ramped up COVID-19 sequencing studies in a bid to combat the new strains. As the coronavirus death toll approached two million, the WHO said that it also wanted the vaccination for the deadly virus underway in every country within the next 100 days. Further, the UN agency sounded alarmed on a new virus variant circulating in Brazil and warned that the current infection spikes in some countries could be blamed on lapses in behaviour rather than simply the new mutations.

WHO Director-General s opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 – 15 January 2021 Format The emergency committee met this week and made a series of recommendations about the COVID-19 outbreak. With almost two million deaths, and new variants appearing in multiple countries, the emergency committee emphasized the need for governments to do all they can to curb infections through tried and tested public health measures. I was pleased that the emergency committee put a major emphasis on rolling out COVID-19 vaccines equitably. I want to see vaccination underway in every country in the next 100 days so that health workers and those at high-risk are protected first.
