WHO Director-General: Some countries 'level of political commitment' doesn't match threat faced



Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ✔@DrTedros

Leadership from the top: We call on country leaders to mobilize their plans, coordinating every part of government, not just the health ministry – security, diplomacy, finance, commerce, transport, trade, information and more – the whole government should be involved. #COVID19

NOT the time to give up
NOT a time for excuses
This is a time for pulling out all the stops
