Citing the example of HIV, he said that the virus has not been eradicated. According to Michael Ryan, it takes years for the average person to get the right level of immunity to the disease without a vaccine.

Earlier, World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that vaccine development was progressing rapidly and efforts were being made to produce at least 100 vaccines. There are 7 to 8 of them which are very close to the destination.

Countries around the world have begun to slow down the lockdown, after which Tedros warned that it could speed up the spread of the virus.

Tedros said many countries are trying different ways to get out of the current lockdown situation. But the World Health Organization is urging countries around the world to be vigilant.

He said that even if the Covid-19 vaccine is ready, it will have to be tested worldwide and great efforts will be needed in the coming days to control the corona virus.
