The WHO made those recommendations approximately one month before Fauci's February interview which was around the same time Trump was claiming the coronavirus was a Democrat hoax to damage him politically.
Fauci serves at the pleasure of the president and has to walk that tightrope of disseminating truthful information as well as supporting what the president says. We have no idea what Fauci recommended in private. But, I would take what Fauci said at that time in the context of what Trump was saying at that time because we have seen what happens when Fauci says something Trump doesn't like.
That bolded part is the part that everyone wants to skip when they say th WHO was against Trump's travel ban (Which allowed 40,000 people in anyway).
It is so completely out of context it's like someone from a political message board keeps saying it and instead its Trump.
