GENEVA, Jan 26 (Reuters) – The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday issued new clinical advice for treating patients with COVID-19, including those with persistent symptoms after recovery, and also said it advised use low doses of coagulants to prevent blood clots.
WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told Geneva in a statement from the United Nations that a team of independent experts led by the WHO, currently in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the first human cases in December 2019, should leave quarantine in the next two days to continue his work on the origins of the virus.
Harris refused to commit to reports of delays in vaccine deployment in the European Union. He said he had no specific data and that the WHO’s priority was for health workers in all countries to be vaccinated in the first 100 days of the year.
