one minute speech on COVID 19 pandemic
Answers
Explanation:
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are.
Every day, COVID-19 seems to reach a new and tragic milestone.
More than 210,000 cases have now been reported to WHO, and more than 9,000 people have lost their lives.
Every loss of life is a tragedy. It’s also motivation to double down and do everything we can to stop transmission and save lives.
We also need to celebrate our successes. Yesterday, Wuhan reported no new cases for the first time since the outbreak started.
Wuhan provides hope for the rest of the world, that even the most severe situation can be turned around.
Of course, we must exercise caution – the situation can reverse. But the experience of cities and countries that have pushed back this virus give hope and courage to the rest of the world.
Every day, we are learning more about this virus and the disease it causes.
One of the things we are learning is that although older people are the hardest hit, younger people are not spared.
Data from many countries clearly show that people under 50 make up a significant proportion of patients requiring hospitalization.
Today, I have a message for young people: you are not invincible. This virus could put you in hospital for weeks, or even kill you.
Answer:
Honourable Ministers, Excellencies, dear colleagues and friends,
The COVID-19 pandemic has left no country untouched. It has humbled all of us.
It is often said that disease knows no borders. It does not care about our political differences, and it disregards the distinctions we draw between health and economy, lives and livelihoods.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted them all.
It has exploited the inequalities in our health systems and the schisms in our societies. It has exposed existing inequities, widening and deepening the cracks between us.
This once-in-a-century pandemic has hammered home a critical lesson: when it comes to health, our destinies are intertwined.
The virus has upended health systems in some of the world’s wealthiest nations, while some countries that have mounted a successful response have been of modest means.
We know that when countries take a comprehensive approach based on fundamental public health measures – such as find, isolate, test and treat cases, and trace and quarantine contacts - the outbreak can be brought under control.
But in most of the world the virus is not under control. It is getting worse.
More than 11.8 million cases of COVID-19 have now been reported to WHO. More than 544,000 lives have been lost.
And the pandemic is still accelerating.
The total number of cases has doubled in the last six weeks.
Since this outbreak began, led by hero health workers, countries have worked around the clock to save lives day and night.
I will never forget the images of health workers who wore a mask for so long while on shift, that they had marks and bruises imprinted on their face, saving lives while risking their own lives. We have lost many health workers.
And also colleagues at the WHO Secretariat were moved by this, working tirelessly to coordinate the global response, to provide evidence-based scientific and technical guidance, catalyze research. Many of my colleagues told me that their inspiration comes from health workers on the frontline who are fighting day and night, risking their lives. That is why we at WHO are working day and night,
