"WHO issued detailed new workplace guidelines, which recommend all places of work carry out a risk assessment for workers potential exposure to #COVID19. This includes the implementation of measures to prevent the spread of the virus"-@DrTedros https://bit.ly/2SWRS5H

"Today saw the release of new modeling on #HIV by the WHO and @UNAIDS. It highlights the importance of taking immediate steps to minimise interruptions in health services and supplies of antiretroviral drugs during the COVID-19 pandemic"-@DrTedros https://bit.ly/2SVBsdJ 

"The group’s worst case scenario, a 6-month disruption of antiretroviral therapy, suggests that there could be 500,000 extra deaths from #AIDS-related illnesses, including from #tuberculosis, in sub-Saharan Africa over the next year"-@DrTedros #COVID19 https://bit.ly/2SVBsdJ 

"This could effectively set the back by more than decade to 2008, when 950K+ #AIDS deaths were observed in the region. This is an avoidable worst-case scenario & not a prediction. The model acts as a wake-up call to identify ways to sustain all vital health services"-@DrTedros
