1) IMPORTANT: today @WHO held an global multidisciplinary multi-agency seminar re #SARSCoV transmission
Thank you @OutbreakJake @neil_ferguson @SMHopkins @SSI_dk @fiocruz_en @Tuliodna @CDCgov @AfricaCDC @ECDC_EU @nicd_sa @PHE_uk @DrMikeRyan @SCBriand @allegranzib & many others

2) So far, data shows that while there may be
transmissibility of some variants, the modes of transmission have not changed, & individual level & pop level PHSM work to
spread of the
variants
Also: re-sharing
bc of so much news about variants https://twitter.com/mvankerkhove/status/1352703378179166211?s=21



Also: re-sharing

@WHO IPC guidelines development group will meet again tomorrow to discuss further (they meet often, as does all our intl #SARSCoV2 technical networks)
I continue to be encouraged by declining incidence in countries where these variants are circulating
Stay the course. #DoItAll
