Over the past two months, WHO/Europe has organized around 60 COVID-19 related missions to countries in the region, delivering technical guidance on a range of issues including laboratory support, disease surveillance, operational planning, and hospital preparedness. Despite the current challenges of border closures and limited air transport, WHO continues to send its experts to support countries at their request, wherever it is needed.
