譚德塞語錄：

 

01/23“譚德塞（Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus）在周四召開的一次緊急會議上，感謝北京的"合作與透明"，並讚同中國為遏製該病毒傳播所采取的措施。

01/24： “Make no mistake: This is an emergency in China. But it has not yet become a global health emergency. It may yet become one,’’

01/31： He also said the WHO "deeply regrets" a mistake in three of its reports last week in which it described the global risk posed by the disease as "moderate" instead of "high." He put the misrepresentation down to "human error."

02/11： 他說，一旦病毒襲擊一個衛生體係薄弱的國家，混亂將一發不可收拾。“目前看，還不至於發生這樣的事情，但並不等於這樣的事情不會發生。它是可能發生的。”

02/21 “The real issue is whether we are seeing efficient community transmission outside of China and at the present time we are not observing that”.

02/24：“Using the word ‘pandemic’ now does not fit the facts but may certainly cause fear,”

02/27： "With the right measures, it can be contained,"

03/04： "We can push this virus back."

03/09：“Now that the virus has a foothold in so many countries, the threat of a pandemic has become very real,”

03/10: "The bottom line is: we are not at the mercy of this virus"

03/12:  “This is a controllable pandemic,”
