Politicisation of Covid-19 has made it worse, world’s leading public health body says

World Health Organisation director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Picture: FABRICE COFFRINI / AFPThe lack of global leadership and unity to fight the coronavirus is a bigger threat than the outbreak itself, the head of the World Health Organisation said on Monday, adding that politicisation of the pandemic had made it worse.

Other members have called for a review of the pandemic, with Australia urging the WHO to have more powers, enabling it to respond more quickly to a health crisis. “The greatest threat we face now is not the virus itself, it’s the lack of global solidarity and global leadership.”
