On this day, six years ago—January 30, 2020—the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak in China a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). On the same day, the Philippines confirmed its first case of COVID-19: a patient from Wuhan, then the epicenter of the virus, who had traveled via Hong Kong. Weeks later, on March 11, 2020, WHO officially classified COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The pandemic emergency was officially declared over in May 2023. Yet COVID-19 endures as an endemic presence—continuing to circulate, evolve, and bring serious health challenges, especially to the most vulnerable populations.

戰鬥吧！疫情被世衛定為緊急事件，這是關乎命運的一次對決！

疫情關乎國人重大利益，不僅僅是抗疫本身，更是大國之間圍繞中國疫情在世衛組織這個平台的話語權爭奪。本質上說，疫情發展到現在，這已經是一場大國政治博弈了。如果疫情不滅並繼續擴散，後果不堪設想，我們每一個人都沒好果子吃，不僅僅是疫情之痛，更有經濟之苦！

WHO identifies novel coronavirus as ‘high risk’

The World Health Organization (WHO), which is yet to declare the novel coronavirus as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) despite over 100 fatalities in China, identified the disease as “high risk”.

In a statement on Monday, the WHO also claimed to be in touch with all the Health Ministers of the South Asian region, while keeping a close watch on the developments.

“WHO remains committed to working with member countries to scale up readiness and implement International Health Regulation (IHR) core capacities to respond to any importation,” it said.

On January 23, an Emergency Committee set up by the WHO over the virus which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, had concluded that the outbreak did not constitute a PHEIC.
