This interim guidance has been updated with advice on safe and appropriate home care for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and on the public health measures related to the management of their contacts.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic presents an exceptional and unprecedented challenge for competent authoritiesa with responsibilities for national food safety control systemsb to continue conducting routine functions and activities in accordance with national regulations... and international recommendations. In many countries, competent authority staff are largely working from home, teleworking being the normal practice, and all face-to-face meetings cancelled or rescheduled as teleconferences. It is challenging to maintain, without interruption, routine activities such as the inspection of food business operations, certifying exports, control of imported foods, monitoring and surveillance of the safety of the food supply chain, sampling and analysis of food, managing food incidents, providing advice on food safety and food regulations for the food industry, and communicating on food safety issues with the public.

La presente publicación describe la evidencia científica disponible sobre la precisión diagnóstica de las pruebas rápidas de detección de antígenos para SARS-COV-2.

Este punto de vista describe cómo interpretar 2 tipos de pruebas diagnósticas comúnmente en uso para las infecciones SARS-COV-2: reacción en cadena de polimerasa con transcriptasa reversa (RT-PCR) y ensayo por inmunoabsorción ligado a enzimas IgM e IgG (ELISA)— y cómo los resultados pueden variar con el tiempo.

Antibiotic resistance (ABR), conservatively calculated, causes more than 500 000 deaths every year. This number is projected to rise dramatically if radical actions are not ta...ken. Lack of effective antibiotics, diagnostics and vaccines threatens the health of millions and hampers fulfilment of several of the Sustainable Devel- opment Goals. Access to effective antibiotics should be part of every adult and child’s right to health.
