The World Health Organization and Chinese officials held a conference on December 30 to discuss the recent spike in COVID-19 cases. 

Discussions sought to give the WHO additional support in managing this crisis.

WHO demanded the regular exchange of precise and up-to-date information on the epidemiological situation, including more genetic sequencing data, information on the impact of the disease, such as hospitalizations, admissions to intensive care units (ICU), and deaths, as well as information on vaccinations administered and vaccination status, particularly in vulnerable individuals and people over 60.

The organization emphasized the value of vaccinations and booster shots to safeguard against serious illness and death for those at higher risk.

China was urged by WHO to improve its clinical management, impact assessment, virus sequencing, and risk communications for vaccination in order to combat reluctance, as read on the organization’s official page.

“Chinese scientists are invited to engage more closely in WHO-led COVID-19 expert networks including the COVID-19 clinical management network,” emphasized WHO.
