As Covid-19 cases rise, WHO asks countries to strengthen surveillance

IndiaTimes Sunday, 24 December 2023
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has urged countries in South-East Asia to strengthen surveillance for respiratory diseases, including Covid-19 and its new sub-variant JN.1. WHO classifies JN.1 as a variant of interest due to its rapid global spread. The public health risk posed by JN.1 is currently evaluated as low. People are advised to take protective measures and seek clinical care when unwell. Vaccination against Covid-19 and influenza is crucial, especially for high-risk individuals. Countries must strengthen surveillance and reporting to effectively manage respiratory diseases.
