A timeline of WHO’s response to COVID-19 in the WHO European Region: a living document (‎Version 2.0 from 31 December 2019 to 31 December 2020)‎

Overview

2020 was a year that will be remembered for generations, for having put the lives and livelihoods of everyone into an unprecedented stress test. Health system and emergency response had to be urgently and radically reshaped to address public needs, while the links between health and the economy have been shown to be greater than we could have ever imagined. The past year has put health firmly at the heart of social values, including equity, solidarity and participation.
