MONDAY MORNING AT IATA

IATA opened on Monday with a press briefing by Conrad Clifford, Senior VP and Deputy Director General, IATA, saying at a press conference that evidence confirms that border measures are not an effective global strategy to control a pandemic.   The World Health Organisation (WHO) has long held that closing borders is not a solution to health crises.

BTN will update under this title during the day.
