Tedros spoke out about the personal attacks aimed at him, including racial slurs and a death threat, saying 'I am a very proud black person or negro. I don't care being called even negro; I am'.

The UN’s health agency has faced criticism in the past both for overreacting and for moving too slowly in fighting epidemics, but it has rarely faced as much scrutiny as with the Covid-19 pandemic. “Fortunately I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on.

“If you don’t want many more body bags, then you refrain from politicising it,” the WHO chief argued, before adding later: “It’s like playing with fire.” Tedros has been giving thrice-weekly virtual press conferences in a bid to be open about how the organisation is dealing with the pandemic.
