Replying to @WHO @DrTedros
"It is therefore with great hope that I declare #COVID19 over as a global health emergency. However, that does not mean COVID-19 is over as a global health threat. Last week, COVID-19 claimed a life every three minutes – and that’s just the deaths we know about"-@DrTedros

Apparently I can even ask "Have you washed your hands?" in my sleep ;)
It’s World #HandHygiene Day #CleanHands are key to keep patients & health workers safe, yet: 🔸50% of health care facilities don't have basic hand hygiene facilities at points of care & toilets 🔸3.85 billion people lack a basic hand hygiene service at their health care facility
