Resumen
Descripción
The current COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the need to prepare, prevent, detect and respond where the next pandemic is likely to start. Main risk settings for new pandemics are locations where close interaction between wildlife, livestock and humans provide the setting for pathogen spillover between different species. Early detection and response are essential. This requires the establishment or strengthening of current surveillance and laboratory systems as well as development and adoption of emergency preparedness procedures, contingency plans and standard operating procedures (SOPs) and availability of emergency funds to intervene rapidly and limit the spread and impact beyond the initial outbreak.
This action sheet presents FAO's COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme's key priority area of preventing new pandemics in Asia and the Pacific.
