WHO warns of a new dangerous phase of the coronavirus pandemic

The head of the world organization drew attention to the daily record of infections in the world. Restrictions are lifted, economic activity is resuming, but the virus is still dangerous and people are vulnerable, Tedros Adhan Ghebreyesus warned

The daily record (more than 150 thousand cases) in the number of new infected COVID-19 in the world, recorded on June 18, indicates the rapid spread of the pandemic. This was stated by the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhan Ghebreyesus. His words are quoted on WHO's Twitter.

Gebreyesus noted that half of the new infections occurred in North and South America, recognized in May as the center of the pandemic. A significant amount of coronavirus infected has also been detected per day in South Asia and the Middle East.

The head of WHO emphasized that the world was in a new and very dangerous phase of the coronavirus pandemic.

He drew attention to the fact that many people are tired of staying at home, the authorities of the countries are trying to resume economic activity. However, the virus is still spreading rapidly, it is still deadly, and most people are still vulnerable, Gebreyesus warned.
