Coronavirus pandemic has not peaked yet: WHO

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom, said that the Coronavirus pandemic is accelerating and that it had not reached its peak yet.

The WHO chief said that while there has been progress in reducing deaths, many countries have implemented targeted actions toward the most vulnerable groups.

The outbreak is accelerating and we have clearly not reached the peak of the pandemic. He said that the coronavirus is continuing to gain pace globally.

“We've only really experienced this rapid increase in cases over the last five to six weeks,” Ryan said. “So I don't think it should be a surprise if the deaths start to rise again.”
