WHO has turned to digital platforms to ensure that, despite travel restrictions, countries in the European Region continue to benefit from timely and tailored support to respond to COVID-19. As WHO and partners experts can no longer travel to countries to advise on public health, they embrace new ways of working. Nine virtual sessions ran in thematic groups, with health personnel and technical partners willing to adapt and work through logistical challenges.
Experts from WHO/Europe, alongside the Robert Koch Institute, worked with Armenian health authorities on assessing the COVID-19 situation and offered advice on the strategy for easing COVID-19 measures. As part of this effort, 400 participants worked together in a virtual space over the course of two weeks
WHO/Europe’s mission to Armenia is the first to take place virtually and follows approximately 60 COVID-19-related missions over the past two months to countries in the Region.
