COVID-19: WHO promises ‘honest evaluation’ of how world handled COVID-19

The announcement follows strong criticism by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration of the global agency’s role in the crisis – though the WHO said the review was not linked to the United States.

The panel will provide an interim report to an annual meeting of health ministers in November and present a “substantive report” next May, he said. The WHO issued a statement saying the review was not linked to the United States and that its 194 member countries had asked in May for an evaluation of the global response.
