WHO Urges China for Details on Respiratory Illness Outbreaks

WHO requests China for details on respiratory illness outbreaks, including clusters of pneumonia in children. The increase in respiratory illnesses is attributed to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the circulation of known pathogens. WHO emphasizes the need for measures to reduce the risk of respiratory illness, including vaccination, maintaining social distancing, seeking medical care when ill, wearing masks, ensuring good ventilation, and frequent handwashing.
