Coronavirus out of control: UN Secretary-General

The world lacks interaction, unity and solidarity, which has already caused a million victims of COVID-19, says Antonio Guterres.

Humanity failed the test for the coronavirus pandemic. At the moment, the number of victims is close to one million. This was announced on Thursday, September 24, by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, speaking at a Security Council meeting on coronavirus on the sidelines of the General Assembly’s high-level week, reports TASS.

“The pandemic is clearly a test for international cooperation, which we have failed,” he said. “The virus has already killed nearly one million people worldwide, affected more than 30 million and is out of control,” he said.

For Guterres, this situation is evidence of a lack of global preparedness, interaction, unity and solidarity.

“The coronavirus has become a black shadow over our entire world. But it has also become a warning that should prompt us to act. We have no choice … Either we join together in global institutions that suit our purpose, or we will be crushed by strife and chaos. ” – He concluded.

Previously, Antonio Guterres said that he considers the COVID-19 coronavirus to be the main threat to security in the world right now. According to him, the vaccine should not be overly trusted: “it will not eliminate the crisis by itself.

Guterres also advocated for the global availability of the coronavirus vaccine. He denounced “vaccine nationalism,” which is not only unfair but also counterproductive.
