This is for the ones who did not yet know the existence of this statement

Status of COVID-19

As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.

 

The 4 nations public health HCID group made an interim recommendation in January 2020 to classify COVID-19 as an HCID. This was based on consideration of the UK HCID criteria about the virus and the disease with information available during the early stages of the outbreak. Now that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK HCID criteria. They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase.

The Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) is also of the opinion that COVID-19 should no longer be classified as an HCID.

The World Health Organization (WHO) continues to consider COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), therefore the need to have a national, coordinated response remains and this is being met by the government’s COVID-19 response.

Cases of COVID-19 are no longer managed by HCID treatment centres only. All healthcare workers managing possible and confirmed cases should follow the updated national infection and prevention (IPC) guidance for COVID-19, which supersedes all previous IPC guidance for COVID-19. This guidance includes instructions about different personal protective equipment (PPE) ensembles that are appropriate for different clinical scenarios.

This is well known by most members here already, and is hardly 'Todays News' as per the category name.

Just trying to help remind the ones who forgot about it and relate it to current news in order to clarify some of the confusing ''change of authority'' in terms of who got in charge of it afterwords......(meaning it wansn't about health anymore) and perhaps enlighten the ones who don't know about it?

 

Its the fact that most people keep getting inundated and confused about everything and following the same old ''does it exist or not'' argument..

 

But ok.

Your intention was clear, and it's always worth bringing this back up. Amazing how this was just left to pass unchallenged by anyone in the MSM at the time. Or maybe not...

Yes, its a tricky one....i mean i get the point "Grumpy Owl" made and it makes sense about where and when to post certain content.

But again.....like you just said... we know MSM won't challenge anything against what and who actually "gets food on their table" if you know what i mean.

But the thing i believe is to still help the ones who have not heard or seen some important relevant content that for some of us is "old news" can help pump up the info into the new members who are not as yet familiar with the details from the past year.

Its not an easy task for moderators i get that i really do, but on the other hand the only way to make the unaware Aware is to carefully sneak in some older relevant content into current "latest" content where EVERYONE is being dragged into...so there's that little here and there moment of "oh...i didn't know that.....oh that makes more sense now" kind of reaction.

Plus most of us know there are increasingly many Short Attention Span people who skip through subjects and dismiss most of the clear important info and immediately steer off with nothing learned....
