Elsevier established a free COVID-19 resource center in January 2020, offering information in English and Mandarin. The center grants permission for free access to its research in PubMed Central and other repositories. U-Report aims to engage young people in promoting mental health and wellbeing. Arts-based approaches have been effective in involving diverse youth groups, challenging stigma and fostering inclusivity. The WHO-UNICEF-Lancet Commission emphasizes the importance of children's voices in their rights and well-being, highlighting the need for community engagement. Children's participation is crucial for their health and development, and shared experiences can enhance their wellbeing. The Commission acknowledges the threats children face and presents a vision for a better future. The WHO Scientific and Technical Advisory Group for Infectious Hazards reviewed the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, concluding that containment strategies should continue. Genetic analysis showed the virus is distinct from SARS-CoV but similar to a bat coronavirus. The virus spreads primarily through human-to-human contact, with different epidemiological characteristics from SARS-CoV. The case fatality ratio is estimated at 1-2%, lower than SARS. Transmission mechanisms include face-to-face contact and possibly fecal-oral routes. Lockdowns in Wuhan slowed international spread, but containment efforts are ongoing globally. Non-pharmaceutical interventions remain central due to the lack of vaccines or antivirals. Strategies include monitoring, communication, source control, containment, surveillance, health system resilience, mitigation, serological testing, and research. The Commission emphasizes the need for research to understand the outbreak's source and prevent future coronavirus outbreaks.Elsevier established a free COVID-19 resource center in January 2020, offering information in English and Mandarin.
