While work stoppages without a waiting day are abolished in France in the event of Covid-19 positivity from Wednesday, the World Health Organization is not weakening on the alert level of the pandemic. Three years to the day following declaring the disease a public health emergency of international concern, the WHO has decided to maintain its maximum level of alert on the Covid-19 pandemic.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus followed the recommendations of the Covid-19 Emergency Committee, experts who were meeting for the 14th time on Friday, according to a statement. Dr. Tedros had already made it known that he considered the lifting of the highest level of alert premature.
