it said.<\/p>\n<p>It asked for data on vaccinations delivered and vaccination status, especially in vulnerable people and those aged over 60.<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8216;Timely publication of data&#8217;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;WHO reiterated the importance of vaccination and boosters to protect against severe disease and death for people at higher risk,&#8221; the Geneva-based organisation said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;WHO called on China to strengthen viral sequencing, clinical management, and impact assessment, and expressed willingness to provide support on these areas, as well as on risk communications on vaccination to counter hesitancy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The UN agency said Chinese scientists were invited to engage more closely in WHO-led COVID-19 expert networks, and asked them to present detailed data at a virus evolution advisory group meeting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;WHO stressed the importance of monitoring and the timely publication of data to help China and the global community to formulate accurate risk assessments and to inform effective responses,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>China said this month it would end mandatory quarantine for people arriving in the country and that it had abandoned strict measures to contain the virus.<\/p>\n<p>The surge in cases in China comes almost exactly three years on since the first infections were recorded in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, more than 650 million confirmed COVID cases and over 6.6 million deaths have been reported, though the UN health agency acknowledges this will be a vast undercount.<\/p>\n<p>The search for the origins of the virus remains unresolved, with Tedros insisting all hypotheses remain in the table, including the theory that the virus escaped from Wuhan&#8217;s virology laboratories.<\/p>\n<p>Tedros has called on China to share data and conduct the studies requested by the WHO to better understand where the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 disease sprang from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 AFP<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Share the data, WHO urges China at COVID surge talks (2022, December 31)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 31 December 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-12-urges-china-covid-surge.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
