The deliberations and scrutiny of the WHO's response to the outbreak follows concerns over how the United Nations agency and governments worldwide handled Covid-19 in early 2020. A "public health emergency of international concern" is WHO's highest level of alert. The agency does not declare pandemics, but it did start using the term to describe Covid-19 in March 2020. For many governments, that - rather than WHO's earlier declaration of an emergency in January - was the moment they began to take real action to try to contain Covid, which proved to be too late to make a difference. Monkeypox does not spread nearly as easily as Covid and there are vaccines and treatments available, unlike for the coronavirus when it emerged. But it has still raised alarm. The case count from the current outbreak outside of Africa has topped 3,000 in more than 40 countries, according to a Reuters tally - largely among men who have sex with men - since it was first reported in May. There have been … [Read more...] about WHO eyes decision on monkeypox ’emergency’, Africa says it’s long overdue

Cities in eastern China tightened COVID-19 curbs on Sunday as coronavirus clusters emerge, posing a new threat to China's economic recovery under the government's strict zero-COVID policy. Wuxi, a manufacturing hub in the Yangtze Delta on the central coast, halted operations at many public venues located underground, including shops and supermarkets. Dine-in services in restaurants were suspended, and the government advised people to work from home. City authorities urged residents not to leave Wuxi unless necessary, after reporting 42 new asymptomatic cases on Saturday. China continues to try to stamp out new infections as part of the strict approach taken in the country where the coronavirus was first detected in late 2019.

A hacker has claimed to have procured a trove of personal information from the Shanghai police on one billion Chinese citizens, which tech experts say, if true, would be one of the biggest data breaches in history. The anonymous internet user, identified as "ChinaDan", posted on hacker forum Breach Forums last week offering to sell the more than 23 terabytes (TB) of data for 10 bitcoin, equivalent to about $200,000. "In 2022, the Shanghai National Police (SHGA) database was leaked. This database contains many TB of data and information on Billions of Chinese citizen," the post said.

Reuters was unable to verify the authenticity of the post. The Shanghai government and police department did not respond to requests for comment on Monday. Reuters was also unable to reach … [Read more...] about Hacker claims to have stolen 1 billion records of Chinese citizens from police
