Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Situation Report- 208
From the Highlights: "The International Narcotics Control Board, World Health Organization, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime have released a statement calling on governments to ensure that the procurement and supply of controlled medicines in countries meet the needs of patients, both those who have COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] and those who require internationally controlled medicines for other medical conditions. While several countries in the Americas have implemented innovative strategies to boost immunization programmes during the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns about risk of exposure, as well as challenges accessing services during lockdown, have led to a reduction in vaccination coverage. This was shown in a series of surveys carried out by the WHO Regional Office for the Americas. Africa is marking six months since the first cases of COVID-19 were detected on the continent. Cases have been gradually increasing, with South Africa bearing the brunt of the crisis, with over half a million cases and [11,000] deaths."

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Situation Report - 206
From the Document: "[1] There have been notable achievements made by Azerbaijan in their response to the COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic. To further boost its response to the ongoing pandemic, a team of WHO [World Health Organization] experts has recommended that the country strengthen contact tracing and testing. [2] Access to basic handwashing facilities is a key condition for schools to be able to operate safely in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet the latest data from the WHO/UNICEF [United Nations Children's Fund] Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) found that 43% of schools worldwide lacked access to basic handwashing with soap and water in 2019. [3] More than 2800 community health workers have been trained in Haiti as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and meetings have been conducted with community leaders to provide them with accurate information about COVID-19. All of these efforts provide muchneeded support to the Ministry of Health and the country's Multisectoral Pandemic Management Commission of COVID-19."

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Situation Report - 204
From the Highlights: "[1] Nearly 20 million cases of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] have now been recorded. WHO [World Health Organization] Director-General Dr Tedros stressed that behind these statistics there is a great deal of pain and suffering. He emphasized that 'There are two essential elements to addressing the pandemic effectively. Leaders must step up to take action and citizens need to embrace new measures…My message is crystalclear: suppress, suppress, suppress the virus'. [2] Dr Tedros sent a message of solidarity to the people of Beirut in the aftermath of the massive explosion which killed over 150 people, injured more than 6000 and made over 300 000 people homeless. 'To the people of Beirut, the health workers and emergency workers on the ground, our thoughts are with you and we will continue to support you', he said. WHO has sent surgical and major trauma supplies and personal protective equipment worth US$1.7 million, as well as providing support to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, address psychosocial needs and facilitate the rapid restoration of damaged health facilities. WHO has issued an appeal for US$76 million in support of this work. [3] A large shipment of medical respirators, medical masks, goggles and gowns -worth €1.1 million - was recently delivered to the Republic of Moldova. The shipment was funded by the European Union and procured by WHO to help health care workers respond effectively and safely to the COVID-19 pandemic."

Operational updates will continue to be shared through the 'Weekly Operational Update on COVID-19'. [2] Yesterday, 9 August, the world celebrated International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, an annual event to raise awareness of the needs and rights of the world's indigenous populations. COVID-19 and indigenous peoples in the the Americas were featured in Situation Report 182.

From the Document: "[1] WHO [World Health Organization] has published guidance on the public health surveillance of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in humans caused by infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This document combines and supersedes the Global surveillance guidance for COVID-19 caused by human infection with COVID-19 virus: Interim guidance, and Surveillance strategies for COVID-19 human infection: Interim Guidance 10 May 2020. [2] A plane carrying 20 tonnes of trauma and surgical supplies from WHO has landed in Beirut, Lebanon to support the treatment of patients injured by the blast which occurred in the city on 4 August. This latest emergency has occurred at a time of recent civil unrest, economic crisis, the COVID-19 outbreak and heavy refugee burden. 'We are in this together, and we are committed to supporting Lebanon in this very difficult time' said Dr Najat Rochdi, UN Resident Coordinator in Lebanon. [3] Epidemics and Public Health Emergency Operations Centre opens in Skopje, North Macedonia. At the Centre's inauguration Dr Hans Henri P.

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Situation Report - 200
From the Document: "[1] As the continent nears one million cases, WHO [World Health Organization] is increasing COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] support to hotspot countries in Africa. Altogether more than 40 public health experts are expected to provide surge support, working with national and provincial counterparts on key areas of the response. [2] The Pan-American Health Organization/WHO Regional Office for the Americas/has drawn upon the Strategic Fund for Public Health Supplies to procure and distribute millions of COVID-19 diagnostic kits, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and other essential health supplies to countries throughout the region. Thus far, over 10 million PCR [polymerase chain reaction] diagnostic tests have been sent to six countries. The Strategic Fund also helped finance PPE including face shields, gloves, goggles, gowns, masks and respirators for 26 countries in the region. [3] Environmental surveillance by testing of waste water for evidence of pathogens has a long history of use in public health. WHO has published a scientific brief on how this form of surveillance is being used in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. [4] Developing a vaccine against COVID-19 is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. WHO has published two new documents on the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access Facility."

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Situation Report - 199
From the Document: "[1] The WHO [World Health Organization] Regional Office for the Americas has issued a warning against the use of chlorine products as treatment for COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]. WHO recommends that people avoid consuming products containing chlorine dioxide or related substances (sodium hypochlorite, bleach, etc.) and that all marketing of such products for therapeutic purposes be reported to the authorities. [2] The South African COVID-19 response is being bolstered by a surge team of health experts from WHO. The surge team will be jointly led by Dr Matshidiso Moeti, WHO Regional Director for Africa and Dr Michael Ryan, Executive Director of the WHO Health Emergencies Programme. Forty-three experts from various fields will be deployed to support the COVID-19 outbreak response management. [3] The WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia has urged countries in the region to maintain essential healthcare and accelerate the resumption of services that have been disrupted, by the pandemic, as an integral part of the COVID-19 response. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, repurposing of health workers, cancellation of elective care, closure of outpatient services, insufficient personal protective equipment, and changes in treatment policy have significantly impacted the delivery of essential services."
