WHO Health Alert for coronavirus launches on WhatsApp
20 March 2020

To increase access to reliable information, WHO worked with WhatsApp and Facebook to launch a new WHO Health Alert messaging service today. The WhatsApp-based service will provide vital information about COVID-19 to millions of people through their mobile phones. The services uses an AI chatbot to provide updated information on the pandemic, including how to protect yourself, questions and answers, and the latest news and press coverage. The Health Alert service is now available in English and will be introduced in other languages next week. This is part of WHO's wider initiative to work with technology companies to get accurate health information into the hands of people that need it at this critical time.




The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the coronavirus disease pandemic is "accelerating", with more than 300,000 cases now confirmed.

It took 67 days from the first reported of Covid-19 to reach 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second 100,000, and just four days for the third 100,000.

But WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it was still possible to "change the trajectory".

He urged countries to adopt rigorous testing and contact-tracing strategies.

"What matters most is what we do. You can't win a football game by defending. You have to attack as well," he told a joint news conference with Fifa president Gianni Infantino to launch a "kick out coronavirus" campaign featuring footballers.

Dr Tedros said asking people to stay at home and other physical-distancing measures were an important way of slowing down the spread of the virus, but described them as "defensive measures that will not help us to win".

"To win, we need to attack the virus with aggressive and targeted tactics - testing every suspected case, isolating and caring for every confirmed case, and chasing and quarantining every close contact."

Boredom and restlessness are getting to me now.
I wonder if there will be a big increase in babies 9 months from now or possibly a big increase in divorce rates.

In certain countries, clinics are being allowed to perform surgery. If you are considering a hair transplant it is advisable to contact the clinic directly.
You heard it here first.

As long as they follow all rules and requirement from government and health ministery there is no problem for hair transplant.I've been to hospital in Turkey for hair transplant.They want you to have negative PCR test and they obey all the hygienic rules.You have to make sure it is a hospital not small simple black market clinic.I've been to MAYA ESTETIK.Operation,hotel,transfer,clean hospital area,customer relations etc overall it was a good trip,im satisfied.I've chosen it with my previous friend's recommendation.Now i can recommend as well.
