⚠️ WHO receives over 100,000  alerts every month. Any of these signals could be a real health threat, an  epidemic or even a  pandemic.
What we call  signals are  something unusual  that happens in public health around the  world. For example:
🏥 There are more people  than usual  at a local  hospital. 🧑🏿�🤝�🧑🏼 People have  illnesses that we  don't expect  to see in young people or  in different demographics in  a society. 🌍 We hear  that more and more people are dying in  some parts of the  world. 🌊 There is a flood,  a war or  a conflict and people are  dying.
🧐 So how do scientists and  the WHO decide  together which of these signals could be a potential  outbreak?
We have a system in  each country through which a lot of this work is  done.
This system includes:
1️⃣ Automated  analysis of all media  sources. 2️⃣ Use artificial intelligence to  filter out the  noise. 3️⃣ Verification, which often means calling colleagues in the affected  community. 4️⃣ Sometimes we  take a sample from a group of people and  send it to a lab to confirm  the disease  in question.
