WHO works worldwide to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. Their goal is to ensure that a billion more people have universal health coverage, to protect a billion more people from health emergencies, and provide a further billion people with better health and well-being.

The Coronavirus Pandemic is just one of the issues being studied by the WHO.  Their advice to everyone is that If COVID-19 is spreading in your community, stay safe by taking some simple precautions, such as physical distancing, wearing a mask, keeping rooms well ventilated, avoiding crowds, cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue.  Stay aware of the latest COVID-19 information by regularly checking updates from WHO and your national and local public health authorities.
