<p>To prioritise international support, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has assessed
which countries are most at risk of the importation of cases and how prepared they
are for a potential outbreak. The UK assessment is that COVID-19 poses an immediate
health risk to low- and middle-income countries as well as secondary health and socio-economic
impacts. Diseases are global threats and to save lives around the world we need a
strong international response. The UK has announced up to £241 million of UK aid funding
to support the global efforts to combat the outbreak of COVID-19 and to support multilateral
actors, including the WHO, to mitigate the impacts for low- and middle-income countries.</p>
