WHO Calls for Effective Approaches in Facing COVID-19

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday warned against ineffective approaches in combating the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Some countries face a long, hard road ahead in the fight against the pandemic, said the WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, as reported by Reuters.

“Countries that have the systems in place to apply a comprehensive approach should be able to contain these flare-ups locally and avoid reintroducing widespread restrictions.”

The number of COVID-19 cases worldwide has now exceeded 10.5 million, while more than 500,000 patients have died since the outbreak began.
