Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to co-ordinate with NATO allies a response to tackling the covid-19 outbreak.
We are working closely with the international community, particularly through the World Health Organisation, to ensure that we respond appropriately to COVID-19. The G7 leaders made an important statement on Monday on the need to coordinate on the global response to COVID-19, and an ongoing commitment to support this. The UK's global response strategy is to support the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other multilateral actors to contain Covid-19 and mitigate secondary health and socio-economic impacts. Our approach is guided by?the Chief Medical Officer, working on the basis of the best possible scientific evidence.
