May 01, 2020 "The Covid-19 pandemic remains an international public health emergency." This was stated by the director general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus."The emergency committee for Covid-19 unanimously agreed that the epidemic still constitutes a public health emergency of international interest," he specified, thereby confirming what he said three months ago.
During the press conference, the WHO then made it known that it wanted to work with governments for the gradual resumption of travel. Director General Ghebreyesus said that he had followed the advice of the commission of international medical experts, who asked to develop travel strategies and analyze the related safety measures. "This is a difficult issue, because it is about trust between member countries - admitted Didier Houssin, who is part of the commission - It is a matter of traveling safely. But it is also a very important aspect for activities in many countries that they depend largely on air travel. "
