Contexte / vue d'ensemble
Comme la pandémie COVID-19 continue d'évoluer, les connaissances sont rapidement générées par la recherche et l'analyse sur différents aspects de l'épidémie. Ces informations doivent parvenir aux décideurs de manière fiable, et ainsi guider le processus de prise de décision à tous les niveaux. Pour faciliter ce processus, le Bureau régional de l'OMS pour l'Afrique a produit des notes d'orientation sur des domaines de connaissance spécifiques. Ces notes d'orientation rapides sont basées sur une analyse rapide des données probantes de qualité existantes concernant une question spécifique pour laquelle les décideurs ont besoin de conseils.
L'interprétation simultanée sera assurée (Anglais, Français and Portugais).
