I-CoViNet: Inethiwekhi Entsha Yama-Global Laboratories for Coronaviruses

Inethiwekhi entsha yomhlaba wonke yamalabhorethri ye Ama-coronavirus, i-CoViNet, yethulwe yi-WHO. Inhloso yalolu hlelo ukuhlanganisa izinhlelo zokugada kanye nezindawo zokucwaninga ukuze kusekelwe ukuhlolwa okuthuthukisiwe kwe-epidemiological kanye nelabhorethri (i-phenotypic ne-genotypic) yokuhlolwa kwe-SARS-CoV-2, i-MERS-CoV kanye noveli. Ama-coronavirus ukubaluleka kwezempilo yomphakathi.

Inethiwekhi esanda kwethulwa inweba ku-“WHO SARS-CoV-2 Reference Laboratory Network” eyasungulwa ekuqaleni kukaJanuwari 2020, ngenhloso yokuqala yokuhlinzeka ngokuhlolwa kokuqinisekisa emazweni angenawo noma amancane amandla okuhlola i-SARS-CoV-2. Kusukela lapho, izidingo ze-SARS-CoV-2 ziye zavela futhi zaqapha ukuvela kwe- igciwane, ukusabalala kwezinhlobonhlobo nokuhlola umthelela wezinhlobonhlobo emphakathini zezempilo ihlala ibalulekile.

Ngemva kweminyaka eminingana ye- Covid-19 ubhubhane, i-WHO inqume ukwandisa futhi ibuyekeze ububanzi, izinjongo kanye nemibandela yokubhekisela futhi kusungulwe i-'WHO entsha. ICoronavirus Inethiwekhi” (CoViNet) enamakhono athuthukisiwe e-epidemiological kanye nelabhorethri okuhlanganisa: (i) ubungcweti kwezempilo yezilwane kanye nokubhekwa kwemvelo; (ii) okunye Ama-coronavirus, okuhlanganisa i-MERS-CoV; kanye (iii) nokuhlonzwa kwenoveli Ama-coronavirus okungase kube nomthelela omubi empilweni yomuntu.

I-CoViNet, ngakho-ke, inethiwekhi yamalabhorethri omhlaba wonke anolwazi kumuntu, izilwane kanye nemvelo i-coronavirus ukugadwa okunezinjongo ezibalulekile ezilandelayo:

ukutholwa kusenesikhathi nokunembile kwe-SARS-CoV-2, i-MERS-CoV kanye nenoveli Ama-coronavirus ukubaluleka kwezempilo yomphakathi;
ukubhekwa nokuqapha kokujikeleza komhlaba wonke kanye nokuziphendukela kwemvelo kwe-SARS-CoV, i-MERS-CoV kanye nenoveli Ama-coronavirus okubalulekile kwezempilo yomphakathi ukuqaphela isidingo sendlela “yeMpilo Eyodwa”;
ukuhlolwa okufika ngesikhathi kwengozi kwa-SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV kanye nenoveli Ama-coronavirus ngokubaluleka kwezempilo yomphakathi, ukwazisa inqubomgomo ye-WHO ehlobene nohlu lwezinyathelo zokuphikisa zezempilo zomphakathi kanye nezokwelapha; futhi
ukwesekwa kokwakhiwa kwamandla2 kwamalabhorethri ahambisana nezidingo ze-WHO kanye ne-CoViNet, ikakhulukazi lawo asemazweni anemali engenayo ephansi kanye nephakathi, kwe-SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV kanye namanoveli ama-coronavirus abalulekile empilweni yomphakathi.

Inethiwekhi njengamanje ihlanganisa amalabhorethri angama-36 avela emazweni angama-21 kuzo zonke izifunda eziyisi-6 ze-WHO.

Abamele ilabhorethri bahlangana eGeneva ngomhlaka-26 - 27 Mashi ukuphothula uhlelo lokusebenza luka-2024-2025 ukuze Amazwe Angamalungu e-WHO ahlomele kangcono ukutholwa kusenesikhathi, ukuhlolwa kobungozi, kanye nokuphendula ezinselele zempilo ezihlobene ne-coronavirus.

Idatha ekhiqizwe ngemizamo ye-CoViNet izoqondisa umsebenzi wamaQembu Okweluleka Ngezobuchwepheshe e-WHO mayelana ne-Viral Evolution (TAG-VE) kanye Nokwakhiwa Komgomo (TAG-CO-VAC) neminye, iqinisekisa ukuthi izinqubomgomo namathuluzi ezempilo emhlabeni wonke asekelwe olwazini lwakamuva lwesayensi.

Ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 seludlulile kodwa ubhubhane kanye nezingozi zobhubhane ezibangelwa ama-coronavirus zibalulekile uma kubhekwa umlando odlule. Ngakho-ke isidingo sokuqonda kangcono ama-coronavirus asengozini enkulu njenge-SARS, i-MERS kanye ne-SARS-CoV-2 kanye nokuthola ama-coronavirus amasha. Inethiwekhi entsha yamalabhorethri yomhlaba wonke kufanele iqinisekise ukutholwa okufika ngesikhathi, ukuqapha kanye nokuhlolwa kwama-coronavirus abalulekile empilweni yomphakathi.
