March 07, 2020Good afternoon to everyone online and in the room.
The number of cases in China continues to decline.
Yesterday, China reported 206 cases of COVID-19 to WHO, the lowest since the 22nd of January. Only 8 cases were reported outside Hubei province yesterday.
Outside China, a total of 8739 cases of COVID-19 have been reported to WHO from 61 countries, with 127 deaths.
In the last 24 hours there were almost 9 times more cases reported outside China than inside China.
The epidemics in the Republic of Korea, Italy, Iran and Japan are our greatest concern.
I would also like to inform you that a WHO team arrived in Iran this afternoon to deliver supplies and support the government in the response.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates for his support in making this mission possible.

Overview
Employers must make sure employees get immediate help if taken ill or injured at work.
The law applies to every workplace and to the self-employed.
You must have:
- a suitably stocked first aid kit
- an appointed person or people to take charge of first aid arrangements
- information for all employees telling them about first aid arrangements
Assess your first aid needs
What ‘adequate and appropriate’ first aid arrangements are depends on the work you do and where you do it. You’re best placed to understand the nature of your work, so you should assess what your first aid needs are.
You must consider:
- the type of the work you do
- hazards and the likely risk of them causing harm
- the size of your workforce
- work patterns of your staff
- holiday and other absences of those who will be first aiders and appointed persons
- a suitably stocked first aid kit

March 07, 2020The complexity of global supply, coupled with “just-in-time” inventory practices and narrowing sources of supply, have created vulnerabilities for virtually all enterprises.
The coronavirus, known as COVID-19, is wreaking havoc on global supply chains woefully unprepared for the massive scale of the emerging disruption. Large corporations such as Ikea, Starbucks, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Tesla are closing or slowing operations close to the epicenter in China. Mattel expects product delays due to factory closures, while Apple expects to ship 5%-10% fewer iPhones this quarter. The complexity of global supply, coupled with “just-in-time” inventory practices and narrowing sources of supply, have created vulnerabilities for virtually all enterprises.
Exacerbating the problem is that the spread of COVID-19 is a moving target. Although COVID-19 originated in China it is now spreading quickly across continents and is already in countries such as South Korea, Australia, -
