WHO committee ‘unanimous’: Not the time to lower guard on COVID-19

GENEVA, Switzerland — The World Health Organization's emergency committee unanimously agreed that now is not the time to lower the guard on COVID-19, the group's head told a press conference on Wednesday.

"The decision was unanimous that it is not yet the time," said Didier Houssin, after the committee concluded that the pandemic still constituted a public health emergency of international concern—the highest level of alert that the WHO can sound. — Agence France-Presse
