Global Certification Commission

(

)

... that Eastern Mediterranean Region is the only WHO region that has yet to be certified by the Global Certification Commission as having eradicated wild poliovirus?
- ALT1: ... that the Global Certification Commission has certified the eradication of wild poliovirus in five of the six WHO regions, with the exception being the Eastern Mediterranean Region?

Comment: ALT1 is a bit longer but puts the emphasis on the target article nominated.

Overall: Coffeeandcrumbs: source provided says "The last region left with wild poliovirus is the Eastern Mediterranean Region, which includes Afghanistan and Pakistan.", doesn't mention anything about a WHO certification. ALT0 seems best to me, either is fine, interesting enough. Waiting on QPQ as well. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 01:57, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Eddie891, I have cited sources stating that each of the other 5 regions have been certified. WHO only has 6 regions. The fact that wild poliovirus only exists in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, I think, is enough to conclude that the GCC has not certified it. The preceding paragraphs in that DW source and the preceding paragraphs in our article lead to that conclusion. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 02:48, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

Works for me. We're just waiting on a qpq, then. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 12:04, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
