Geneva: The World Health Organisation's emergencies chief said that we need to put up a fight now during a peak in the current wave of the coronavirus pandemic rather than focusing on when a second wave might come.
WHODr. Michael Ryan said the world will be much better at fighting a second wave, if people can learn the lessons of fighting the first wave.
WHO officials emphasised mask-wearing, social distancing and hygiene by individuals along with contact-tracing and tracking of cases by health authorities as key strategies to fight the virus.

They said that governments and individuals should contour their policies and behaviour.
Ryan said that the world was experiencing a second peak in the first wave, a situation in which the virus hasn't been suppressed enough.
