Long way to go
Long way to go in coronavirus battle: WHO chief
World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has warned that the fight against coronavirus pandemic will be a long one and that there’s no room for complacency.
Tedros on Wednesday said most countries are still in the very early stages of their epidemics, while some are now starting to see resurgence in cases.
“Make no mistake: we have a long way to go. This virus will be with us for a long time”, he said, reports UN News.
Coronavirus, which was first reported in China’s Wuhan, has so far infected nearly 2.5 million, and killed more than 160,000.
While most of the epidemics in Western Europe appear to be stable or declining, “worrying upward trends” are now visible in Africa, Central America, South America and Eastern Europe, despite low case numbers.
"And some that were affected early in the pandemic are now starting to see a resurgence in cases.Make no mistake: we have a long way to go. This virus will be with us for a long time"-@DrTedros #COVID19
