Situation Report – 139
Data as received by WHO from national authorities by 10:00 CEST, 07 June 2020
Highlights
A joint task force has been established by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the Central
European Initiative to strengthen regional coordination for the COVID-19 response and mitigate the
impact of the pandemic. The task force will serve as a strategic platform for updating member states,
exchanging information, and sharing experiences, best practices and training.
This year on World Food Safety Day on 7 June, the WHO Regional Office for Europe has reminded
everyone of the Five Keys to Safer Food, which are basic principles that each individual should know
to prevent foodborne diseases, some of which (such as handwashing) also offer protection from
COVID-19. The WHO Regional Office for the Americas stated that traditional markets, particularly
those which sell live animals, may represent a risk of transmission of diseases between animals and
humans (zoonotic diseases), and that appropriate regulations and inspections for the production and
sale of live animals are needed to prevent the spread of emerging diseases.

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.
