After last Friday’s meeting of the World Health Organization’s emergency committee on COVID-19, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus explained that the pandemic is probably at a “transition point.” He warned that it is not the time to declare the pandemic over and that the global response to the crisis “remains hobbled.” How can countries navigate this transitional stage in a more rational way and learn from each other for a more appropriate response? The Hub with Wang Guan talks to Dr. Alice Hyun-Kyung Tan, internist at MizMedi Women’s Hospital in Seoul, and Wu Zhiwei, professor and director at the Center for Public Health Research at Medical School of Nanjing University. As the virus remains a permanently established pathogen and with long COVID threatening high-risk and vulnerable groups, how can public health systems boost vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics provision? What is the impact of disinformation and misinformation on efforts to curb infections? And how prepared is China for future waves of infection?
