WHO has a three-point checklist that countries should check before lifting a blockade

Companies from Milan in Italy to Roswell en Georgia They started to open after weeks and months of coronavirus-induced seals.

Italians last weekend got out to take advantage of his first weekend outdoors since early March, when the blockade of COVID-19 in this country began. Most, but not all, wore the necessary masks.

In the USA, experts warned last week there is no state ready to reopen, and Anthony Fauci, the country's leading disease expert, are expected to announce to the Senate on Tuesday that "unnecessary suffering and death" is looming if the United States opens too quickly.

With so many countries and states weighing in on the perfect time to relax their blockade measures, the World Health Organization on Monday detailed three basic questions that "can help determine whether a blockade can be released slowly or not". .

"First of all, epidemic under control", Said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

"Second, the health system capable of coping with the resurgence of cases What can happen after relaxing certain measures? "and" third, public health surveillance system capable of detecting and managing cases and their contacts and identifying a resurgence

cases? "

Unfortunately, USA USA He still does not check any of these boxes.

The the epidemic continues to spread widely in many heart states, from Tennessee to Kentucky, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Georgia, according to filtered data from the White House obtained by NBC News.

to exist serious disparities in the American healthcare system. USA what should be addressed if all have adequate access to coronavirus testing and care in the weeks and months to come, and public health surveillance system needs a major digital update to properly identify the resurgence of the epidemic, and test and plot Each new case.

WHO has pointed out that as the blockages are lifted and people mix more, there will inevitably be new infections. This is why countries and cities should proceed with caution and clarity when reopening, making sure they are ready to deal with a possible increase.

"As the restrictions are lifted, people will mix more, for sure," said WHO executive director of health emergencies Mike Ryan.

"The risk of transmission will potentially increase. The question is, can we get to the point where we have robust public health measures in place where we can investigate clusters of cases and suppress those clusters without reverting to intense modes of transmission from before? "

He noted that crowds of people were gathering for the party (like some students Colorado last week) are probably among the most "risky" situations possible.

In the UK, confusion over the reopening of this country has certainly reigned in recent days, as people weigh the new 50-page coronavirus reopening guidelines Prime Minister Boris Johnson was released on Monday who go against Advance orientation, telling people to wear masks when they are in public.

The reopening plans also left confused business on when and how to properly reopen their offices.

Ryan stressed that it is important, as all countries begin to reopen, that they create new ways to reduce transmission when people need to be together, to avoid crowds and gatherings important and to identify when new clusters of coronavirus cases arise.

He mentioned Germany and South Korea like places that do this kind of careful reopening properly.

"It is really important that we have examples of countries that are ready to open their eyes and are ready to keep them open," said Ryan, alluding to the idea that more blockades might be needed if the cases were intensifying.

"Closing your eyes and trying to get through this blind is as silly an equation as I have seen it," added Ryan.

"I am really concerned that some countries are preparing to drive with severe blindness in the coming months."
