"On January 30, we declared a state of emergency, taking into account the health concerns of the international community. This is a necessary event for all of us. The World Health Organization has an emergency committee. The committee has independent experts.
The statement came from Margaret Harris, spokeswoman for the World Health Organization (WHO) on COVID-19, in an interview with Real TV.
According to him, meetings are still being held to review the situation:
"A meeting was held in July. According to the general opinion, the state of emergency must continue. When the incidence and mortality in all countries will decrease and there will be no infection between countries, we will lift the state of emergency. At present, we are far from those conditions. "
