Burundi expels top WHO team in coronavirus crisis

The foreign ministry, in a letter to WHO Africa headquarters and seen by Agence France-Presse on Wednesday, May 13, said the UN agency's representative in Burundi and his 3 colleagues"are declared persona non grata and as such, must leave the territory of Burundi" by Friday, May 15.

"We are in communication with the government of Burundi to clarify and understand the reasoning behind this decision they have taken. We are in the meantime then working to organize the departure of our staff." The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention described the move as"unfortunate" at a time when greater cooperation was needed to tackle the virus on the continent.

A health ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said 7 patients have been hospitalized at one institution with symptoms such as respiratory distress and had not been tested and that"a whole wing has been dedicated to them at the military hospital." "Since then all activity is paralyzed, no test can be carried out, it is a catastrophe," an employee of the institute confirmed to AFP, on condition of anonymity.Rights groups say the government is pressing ahead with the vote no matter the cost, and accuses the ruling party and its youth wing of crushing dissent and threatening those taking their own measures against coronavirus.

Even they are the WHO lies...how long before Philippines does.. or is a few million peso enough ketp them in control of this country?

Good move. WHO is useless
