World leaders agree to create international treaty to avoid covid-esque situations in the <\/strong>future: <\/strong>The World Health Organization (WHO) and 23 countries have agreed to draw up an international treaty outlining cooperation in the case of future health emergencies, according to Reuters<\/a>.
