You can easily find the same material elsewhere.
Then do so.
That was my source.
WHO continues to advise against the application of travel or trade restrictions to countries experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks.
And avoided cropping it immediately before you were contradicted.
In general, evidence shows that restricting the movement of people and goods during public health emergencies is ineffective in most situations and may divert resources from other interventions. Furthermore, restrictions may interrupt needed aid and technical support, may disrupt businesses, and may have negative social and economic effects on the affected countries. However, in certain circumstances, measures that restrict the movement of people may prove temporarily useful, such as in settings with few international connections and limited response capacities.
I'll grant you the benefit of the doubt, that you actually didn't read any further. Hell, it's hard to get you to read an entire o/p. There's no way to avoid noting the shifted goalposts.
Do you know that they are still saying we never should have stopped international travel from China?
No, they didn't.
Travel measures that significantly interfere with international traffic may only be justified at the beginning of an outbreak, as they may allow countries to gain time, even if only a few days, to rapidly implement effective preparedness measures. Such restrictions must be based on a careful risk assessment, be proportionate to the public health risk, be short in duration, and be reconsidered regularly as the situation evolves.

And now that everyone is saying wearing a mask is useful they are still advising against wearing them.
v.
If you are healthy, you only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19.

Wear a mask if you are coughing or sneezing.
Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
If you wear a mask, then you must know how to use it and dispose of it properly.

There's a pattern in the cropping here, but I'm not objecting to the misrepresentations so much as the conspiracy theories.
It's like they want the pandemic to get worse. Job security?
There's no missing the fact these attacks on the WHO and Fauci et al. are directly linked to their contradictions of the president, a guy who's mooted the hyperbole of claiming a man would lie about the weather.
If you really want to make the pandemic get worse, there's no better strategy than attacking the front line defenders.
