A warning sign is seen as part of Covid-19 precautions in Australia.
The world is more at risk of a pandemic and less safe from deadly virus outbreaks than it was before Covid, a major pandemic preparedness report has found.
The findings from the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) come as health authorities around the world scramble to contain outbreaks of the life-threatening Ebola and hantavirus, while Australia responds to one of its worst diphtheria outbreaks since records began.
GPMB is a World Health Organization (WHO)-convened body that was created in 2018 following West Africa's first wide-scale Ebola epidemic, with the aim of assessing how well countries are prepared to face future pandemics.
