Situation Report – 142
Data as received by WHO from national authorities by 10:00 CEST, 10 June 2020
Highlights
The WHO Regional Office for the Americas will support the Ministry of Health and the Advisory Team of the
Venezuelan National Assembly to seek funds for COVID-19 Response. “COVID-19 has been a problem for most
countries, but this pandemic also provides a good opportunity to pursue health as a bridge to peace", said Dr
Carissa F. Etienne, the Regional Director for the Americas.
Dr Carissa F. Etienne has also noted, “In South America, our response to the pandemic will be impacted by the
arrival of winter, while hurricane season will complicate our efforts in North and Central America, and
especially in the Caribbean”. The region needs to prepare to combat the effects of winter and hurricanes on
COVID-19 response.
The WHO Regional Office for Europe is coordinating a large-scale COVID-19 response operation in Tajikistan,
involving emergency medical teams (EMTs) and mobile laboratories. As part of the operation, WHO will
mobilize medical and laboratory specialists from Germany, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom,
who will be deployed to Tajikistan during the coming weeks, upon request from the government.

Case definitions
WHO periodically updates the Global Surveillance for human infection with coronavirus disease
(COVID-19) document which includes surveillance definitions.
Caution must be taken when interpreting all data presented. Differences are to be expected between
information products published by WHO, national public health authorities, and other sources using
different inclusion criteria and different data cut-off times. While steps are taken to ensure accuracy
and reliability, all data are subject to continuous verification and change. Case detection, definitions,
testing strategies, reporting practice, and lag times differ between countries/territories/areas. These
factors, amongst others, influence the counts presented, with variable underestimation of true case
and death counts, and variable delays to reflecting these data at global level.
The designations employed, and the presentation of these materials do not imply the expression of
any opinion whatsoever on the part of WHO concerning the legal status of any country, territory or
area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Dotted and
dashed lines on maps represent approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full
agreement. Countries, territories and areas are arranged under the administering WHO region.
The mention of specific companies or of certain manufacturers’ products does not imply that they are
endorsed or recommended by WHO in preference to others of a similar nature that are not
mentioned. Errors and omissions excepted, the names of proprietary products are distinguished by
initial capital letters.

Counts reflect laboratory-confirmed cases and deaths, based on WHO case definitions, unless stated
otherwise (see Country, territory, or area-specific updates and errata), and include both domestic and
repatriated cases.
Other*: includes cases reported from international conveyances.
Due to the recent trend of countries conducting data reconciliation exercises which remove large
numbers of cases or deaths from their total counts, WHO will now display such data as negative
numbers in the “new cases” / “new deaths” columns as appropriate. This will aid readers in identifying
when such adjustments occur. When additional details become available that allow the subtractions to
be suitably apportioned to previous days, graphics will be updated accordingly. Prior situation reports
will not be edited; see covid19.who.int for the most up-to-date data.
Additional table notes

Classifications are reviewed on a weekly basis and may be revised as new information becomes
available. and. Differing degrees of transmission may be present within countries/territories/areas;
classification is based on the highest category reported within a country/territory/area. Categories:
