The world is far from ending with the new coronavirus, which killed more than 177,800 people, said Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adamom Hebraeus, quoted by France Press and Reuters.
“Don’t be fooled: we still have a long way to go. This virus will be with us for a long time,” Hebraeus warned at an online news conference at the headquarters of the UN agency in Geneva.
“Most countries are still in the early stages of the epidemic and some of those affected at the start of the pandemic are starting to see a further increase in cases,” added Hebraeusus, but noted that progress has been made in Western Europe. , reports BTA.
The WHO has emphasized that it is concerned about the growing trend of epidemics in parts of Africa and Central and South America, and warned that renewed travel around the world requires careful risk assessment.
“We announced the alarm at the right time,” Hebraeus stressed on January 30, in response to a question from the media. He noted that the rest of the world had enough time to prepare.
