Today is #WorldPrematurityDay.
Approximately 1⃣ million children around 🌎🌍🌏 die each year due to complications from #preterm birth, and survivors may face a lifetime of ill-health.
Since the start of the pandemic, a total 65 WHO staff stationed in Geneva - working from home and onsite - have tested positive for #COVID19. We have not yet established whether any transmission has occurred on campus, but are looking into the matter.
Say “no” to cross-contamination this #Thanksgiving by practicing safe handling of raw meat & poultry. Remember to keep them and their juices away from cooked or ready-to-eat foods and fresh produce!
