Simultaneous outbreaks of Ebola on opposite sides of DR Congo, a drop in vaccination rates for killer diseases like polio, a resurgence of malaria and other preventable diseases, and now the "dangerous, dangerous" virus that causes COVID-19 - the World Health Organization is in the middle of global efforts to contain and eliminate deadly pathogens.

It warned policy makers and the public not to relax vigilance, amid a pandemic that is far from over.
