WHO RISK ASSESSMENT
Global Level Very High
HIGHLIGHTS
• Yemen reported its first case of COVID-19 in the past 24 hours.
• WHO has developed the following definition for reporting COVID deaths: a
COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from
a clinically compatible illness in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless
there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID
disease (e.g., trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery
between the illness and death.
• WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros, in a press conference held yesterday,
highlighted the issue of planning the transition out of stay-at-home
restrictions: “WHO wants to see restrictions lifted as much as anyone. At the
same time, lifting restrictions too quickly could lead to a deadly resurgence.”

• WHO has updated its Q&A page on COVID-19 to provide information of how
the virus spreads and how it is affecting people worldwide. For more details,
please see here.
• To date, there are a limited number of publications and national situation
reports that provide information on the number of healthcare worker (HCW)
infections. Understanding infection in HCWs is critical to informing the
specific infection prevention and control measures needed to protect HCWs
from infection. For more details, please see ‘Subject in Focus’ below.
