I-CoViNet: Inethiwekhi eNtsha yeeLebhu zeHlabathi zeCoronaviruses 

I-WHO iqalise inethiwekhi entsha yehlabathi yeelabhoratri ze -coronavirus , iCoViNet. Injongo yale nkqubo kukuhlanganisa iinkqubo zokubeka esweni kunye neelabhoratri zesalathiso ukuxhasa ukuphuculwa kokubekwa esweni kwezifo kunye novavanyo lwelabhoratri (i-phenotypic kunye ne-genotypic) lwe-SARS-CoV-2, i-MERS-CoV kunye nee-coronavirus ezintsha ezibalulekileyo kwimpilo yoluntu.

Inethiwekhi entsha eqalisweyo iyanda kwi-“WHO SARS-CoV-2 Reference Laboratory Network” eyasekwa ekuqaleni kukaJanuwari 2020, ngenjongo yokuqala yokubonelela ngovavanyo lokuqinisekisa kumazwe angenawo okanye angenawo amandla okuvavanya i-SARS-CoV-2. Ukusukela ngoko, iimfuno ze-SARS-CoV-2 ziye zanda kwaye ukujonga ukuvela kwentsholongwane , ukusasazeka kweendidi ezahlukeneyo kunye nokuvavanya impembelelo yeendidi ezahlukeneyo kwimpilo yoluntu kusabalulekile.

Emva kweminyaka eliqela yobhubhane we-COVID -19, i-WHO igqibe ekubeni yandise kwaye ihlaziye umda, iinjongo kunye nemigqaliselo yesalathiso kwaye iseke 'i-WHO Coronavirus Network' entsha (CoViNet) enezakhono eziphuculweyo ze-epidemiological kunye neelebhu kubandakanya: (i) ubuchule kwimpilo yezilwanyana kunye nokujonga okusingqongileyo; (ii) ezinye ii-coronavirus , kubandakanya i-MERS-CoV; kunye (iii) nokuchongwa kwee -coronavirus ezintsha ezinokuchaphazela kakubi impilo yabantu.

Ngoko ke, iCoViNet yinethiwekhi yeelabhoratri zehlabathi ezinolwazi ekujongeni i-coronavirus ebantwini, kwizilwanyana nakwindalo esingqongileyo , kwaye ezi njongo zilandelayo ziphambili:

• ukufunyaniswa kwangaphambili kunye nokuchanekileyo kwe-SARS-CoV-2, i-MERS-CoV kunye nenoveli iintsholongwane ze-Corona ngokubaluleka kwempilo yoluntu; 
• Ukubeka iliso kunye nokubeka iliso kujikelezo lwehlabathi kunye nokuvela kwe-SARS-CoV, i-MERS-CoV kunye nenoveli iintsholongwane ze-Corona ukubaluleka kwempilo yoluntu ekuqondeni imfuno yendlela “yeMpilo enye”; 
• Uvavanyo lomngcipheko kwangethuba lwe-SARS-CoV-2, i-MERS-CoV kunye nenoveli iintsholongwane ze-Corona ngokubaluleka kwempilo yoluntu, ukwazisa umgaqo-nkqubo we-WHO onxulumene noluhlu lwezempilo yoluntu kunye nemilinganiselo yokuchasana nonyango; kwaye 
• Inkxaso yokwakhiwa kwesakhono2 seelabhoratri ezihambelana neemfuno ze-WHO kunye ne-CoViNet, ngakumbi ezo zikumazwe anengeniso ephantsi kunye nephakathi, kwi-SARS-CoV-2, i-MERS-CoV kunye ne-coronavirus yenoveli ebalulekileyo kwimpilo yoluntu. 

Uthungelwano okwangoku lubandakanya iilebhu ezingama-36 ezisuka kumazwe angama-21 kuzo zonke imimandla emi-6 ye-WHO. 

Abameli beelabhoratri badibana e-Geneva ngomhla wama-26 ukuya kowama-27 kweyoKwindla ukugqibezela isicwangciso sokusebenza sika-2024-2025 ukuze amazwe angamaLungu e-WHO axhotyiswe ngcono ukuba abhaqwe kwangethuba, uvavanyo lomngcipheko, kunye nokusabela kwimingeni yezempilo enxulumene ne-coronavirus. 

Idatha eveliswe ngeenzame ze-CoViNet iya kukhokela umsebenzi wamaQela eeNgcebiso zobuGcisa be-WHO kwi-Viral Evolution (TAG-VE) kunye ne-Vaccine Composition (TAG-CO-VAC) kunye nezinye, iqinisekisa ukuba imigaqo-nkqubo yezempilo yehlabathi kunye nezixhobo zisekelwe kulwazi lwamva nje lwenzululwazi. 

Ubhubhani we-COVID-19 udlulile kodwa ubhubhani kunye nemingcipheko yobhubhane ebangelwa yi-coronavirus ibalulekile kwimbali yangaphambili. Yiyo loo nto imfuneko yokuqonda ngcono ii-coronavirus ezisemngciphekweni omkhulu njenge-SARS, i-MERS kunye ne-SARS-CoV-2 kunye nokufumanisa ii-coronavirus ezintsha. Inethiwekhi entsha yeelabhoratri zehlabathi kufuneka iqinisekise ukufunyanwa kwangexesha, ukubeka iliso kunye novavanyo lwee-coronavirus ezibaluleke kakhulu kwimpilo yoluntu.
