WHN calls on WHO to get the science right:
Recognize airborne transmission as the primary mode of COVID-19 spread
Make clean indoor air a core component of infection prevention
Center Long COVID prevention, care, and monitoring
Acknowledge COVID-19 as a vascular, multi-system disease with long-term impacts
Define COVID-19 as a respiratory-transmitted disease (RTD), not a respiratory disease
Ensure public access to effective respiratory protection (N95 or better)

COVID-19 is a multi-system vascular disease that starts in the airways — but doesn’t stay there. It can damage the brain, heart, endocrine system, and more.
Calling it a "respiratory illness" is misleading and dangerous.

WHO’s draft plan barely mentions airborne transmission. But COVID-19 spreads through the air.
We don’t fight waterborne disease without clean water.
We can’t fight airborne disease without clean indoor air. This must be a core pillar of the plan, not a footnote.

WHO is finalizing its 5-year global strategy for managing COVID-19 and future coronavirus threats.
But their draft plan misses key scientific facts and downplays the ongoing crisis.
The deadline to submit public comment is tomorrow, August 8.
