The World Health Organization (WHO) says it has updated its list of global health emergencies. WHO’s chief announces that the global outbreak of hantavirus is officially over. At the same time, the WHO reports that Ebola outbreaks are growing in parts of Africa, indicating a worsening situation that requires continued public health response. The update also notes that WHO and other responders are assisting recovery efforts in Venezuela following a recent earthquake, providing support as health systems respond to impacts from the disaster. The statement frames the updates as a “temperature check” on major health threats worldwide, combining an announcement of the end of one global outbreak with warnings about expanding outbreaks of another disease and ongoing assistance for a humanitarian and public health crisis linked to natural disaster impacts. Overall, the WHO highlights shifting global risk levels and the need for sustained preparedness and response across different regions and event types.
