WHO warns world in new, dangerous phase of pandemic
(VOVWORLD) - The coronavirus pandemic has entered a new and dangerous phase as daily COVID-19 cases hit record highs and people are tired of lockdowns, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned Friday.
The number of new cases reported Thursday was the most in a single day so far at 150,000, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press conference from the agency’s Geneva headquarters.
Tedros said Friday that the world will overcome the pandemic and be better prepared for a future crisis. He added the WHO is concerned about cases in low- and middle-income countries.
