Source: World Health Organization (WHO). Published: 1/2020. A novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was identified by Chinese authorities on January 7, 2020. Available evidence on the 2019-nCoV virus and previous experience with other coronavirus (MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV) and other respiratory viruses (e.g., avian influenza) suggest that there may be zoonotic transmission associated with the 2019-nCoV. This web page provides the World Health Organization's general recommendations, and recommendations for at-risk groups, regarding live animal markets to reduce risk of transmission of emerging pathogens.

This 68-page report summarizes a project to conduct and analyze key informant interviews with stakeholders in nine European countries who were involved in the development, implementation, and evaluation of national heatwave plans. The overall objective of Supportive Risk Awareness and Communication to Reduce Impact of Cross-Border Heatwaves (SCORCH) is to reduce the impact of heatwaves on urban populations through improved risk communication based on existing European Union plans and guidelines.

The International Committee of the Red Cross's surgical programs for war victims have been developed over many years, based on appropriate responses for a given situation, often with a lack of adequate resources. This 370-page document, an update from the 2010 edition, covers the basics of managing war injuries. It includes new chapters of a more general character whose contents are relevant not only to surgeons but also to those responsible for the organization and coordination of surgical programs in times of armed conflict and other situations of violence.
