Coronavirus disease

(COVID-19)
Situation Report – 164
Data as received by WHO from national authorities by 10:00 CEST, 2 July 2020

Highlights
WHO Director-General Dr Tedros has emphasized the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to
responding to the pandemic -- “Not testing alone. Not physical distancing alone. Not contact tracing alone. Not
masks alone. Do it all”, he said during yesterday’s regular media briefing.
In Turkey, a WHO-backed helpline has been created to provide psychosocial health support to persons affected
by mental health issues in the wake of COVID-19. The helpline reaches all of Turkey’s 81 provinces, and has
provided over 80 000 consultations since March 2020.
While countries have had to de-prioritise non-urgent care to make way for COVID-19 patients, maternal and
child health is one area that cannot be put on hold. In the WHO European region, examples from Italy,
Germany and Israel show that swift recalibration of healthcare has helped maintain essential services, thereby
protecting the well-being of pregnant women and their babies.
The WHO Regional Director for the Americas, Dr Carissa F. Etienne, said countries planning to relax public
health measures must take a phased approach based on local conditions and be prepared to impose
preventive measures again if the epidemiological situation changes.
The WHO representative, Dr Akjemal Magtymova, shared her professional and personal experience of taking
up her new duty station in Syria amid the restrictions brought about by COVID-19, as well as challenges in
responding to the pandemic in a conflict area.
WHO has published new guidance on infection prevention and control during healthcare when COVID-19 is
suspected or confirmed. Details are explored further in today’s Subject in Focus, below.

Subject in Focus: Updated guidance on Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)

WHO has updated the interim guidance on infection prevention and control during healthcare when
coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is suspected or confirmed.

This is the third edition of the guidance and expands the scope and structure of earlier guidance, bringing
together other interim recommendations as well as considerations and advice from subject matter experts.

The main differences and additions compared to the previous versions include the following:

• expansion of all sub-sections to include clarifications and further recommendations;

• addition of new guidance and practical advice for the management of visitors especially in areas with
COVID-19 community transmission;
• inclusion of a sub-section on ventilation in the section “Environmental and engineering controls”;
• new guidance on IPC considerations for surgical procedures for patients with suspected or confirmed
COVID-19, as well as those patients whose COVID-19 status is unknown;
• updated considerations for dead body management in healthcare facilities; and
• practical advice and tools to assess healthcare facility IPC readiness and to monitor and evaluate IPC
measures for COVID-19.

This guidance is intended for health workers, including healthcare managers and IPC teams at the facility
level, but it is also relevant for the national and district/provincial levels.

Case definitions
WHO periodically updates the Global Surveillance for human infection with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
document which includes surveillance definitions.

Definition of COVID-19 death

A COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically compatible illness in
a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be
related to COVID-19 disease (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery between the illness
and death.
Further guidance for certification and classification (coding) of COVID-19 as cause of death is available here and
here.
Annex 1: Data, table and figure notes

Caution must be taken when interpreting all data presented. Differences are to be expected between
information products published by WHO, national public health authorities, and other sources using different
inclusion criteria and different data cut-off times. While steps are taken to ensure accuracy and reliability, all
data are subject to continuous verification and change. Case detection, definitions, testing strategies,
reporting practice, and lag times differ between countries/territories/areas. These factors, amongst others,
influence the counts presented, with variable underestimation of true case and death counts, and variable
delays to reflecting these data at global level.
The designations employed, and the presentation of these materials do not imply the expression of any
opinion whatsoever on the part of WHO concerning the legal status of any country, territory or area or of its
authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Dotted and dashed lines on maps
represent approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full agreement. Countries, territories and
areas are arranged under the administering WHO region.
The mention of specific companies or of certain manufacturers’ products does not imply that they are
endorsed or recommended by WHO in preference to others of a similar nature that are not mentioned.
Errors and omissions excepted, the names of proprietary products are distinguished by initial capital letters.
[1] All references to Kosovo should be understood to be in the context of the United Nations Security Council

resolution 1244 (1999). In the map, number of cases of Serbia and Kosovo (UNSCR 1244, 1999) have been
aggregated for visualization purposes.

Counts reflect laboratory-confirmed cases and deaths, based on WHO case definitions, unless stated
otherwise (see Country, territory, or area-specific updates and errata), and include both domestic and
repatriated cases.
Other*: includes cases reported from international conveyances.
Due to the recent trend of countries conducting data reconciliation exercises which remove large numbers of
cases or deaths from their total counts, WHO will now display such data as negative numbers in the “new
cases” / “new deaths” columns as appropriate. This will aid readers in identifying when such adjustments
occur. When additional details become available that allow the subtractions to be suitably apportioned to
previous days, graphics will be updated accordingly. Prior situation reports will not be edited; see
covid19.who.int for the most up-to-date data.
Additional table notes
i Transmissionclassification is based on a process of country/territory/area self-reporting. Classifications are
reviewed on a weekly basis and may be revised as new information becomes available. Differing degrees of
transmission may be present within countries/territories/areas; classification is based on the highest
category reported within a country/territory/area. Categories:

• No cases: with no confirmed cases

• Sporadic cases: with one or more cases, imported or locally detected
• Clusters of cases: experiencing cases, clustered in time, geographic location and/or by common
exposures
• Community transmission: experiencing larger outbreaks of local transmission defined through an
assessment of factors including, but not limited to: large numbers of cases not linkable to transmission
chains; large numbers of cases from sentinel lab surveillance; and/or multiple unrelated clusters in
several areas of the country/territory/area
• Pending: transmission classification has not been reported to WHO
ii “Territories” include territories, areas, overseas dependencies and other jurisdictions of similar status.

Country, territory, or area-specific updates and errata

• Update 2 July 2020, Israel: Counts adjusted by national authorities: an additional 15 cases on 1 July.
