As you know, a WHO-led international team of experts is now on the ground in China, working with their Chinese counterparts to find answers to some of the things we don’t know, including the severity of disease, the transmissibility of the virus and the impact of the measures that China has taken.
The WHO-led joint team brings together leading experts from China and around the world, with a shared commitment to pooling their scientific expertise to better understand the outbreak and save lives.
The mission was launched under the GOARN framework and we thank all partners in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network for their continued support and partnership.
The team includes experts in epidemiology, virology, clinical management, outbreak control and public health from the following institutions:
The National University of Singapore
The Saint Petersburg Pasteur Institute
The National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan
The Seoul National University College of Medicine, Republic of Korea
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control
The U.S. Centers for Disease Prevention and Control
The U.S. National Institutes of Health
The Russian National Medical Research Center of Phthisiopulmonology and Infectious Diseases
