The World Health Organization (WHO) held a COVID-19 update briefing on Monday as the number of confirmed cases in the world have surpassed 27,100,000 and the death toll nears 900,000.
During the briefing, emergencies programme director Dr. Michael Ryan said on Monday that information surrounding back-to-school COVID-19 measures needs to be clear for parents and children so they can understand what happens should a child get sick. He said this is important not just for health, but also to avoid stigma that parents and children may be concerned about if a child is diagnosed because anyone can get the coronavirus and “it is not the fault of the child.”
On Friday, the WHO stressed it would not recommend any COVID-19 vaccine until it has proven to be safe, even as Russia and China have started using their experimental vaccines before studies had finished.
