Geneva: World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning to countries around the world to be prepared for situations in which the virus will never be eradicated.
The WHO has made it clear that the Covid-19 may never go away and the world will have to get used to live with it.

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.
CoronavirusExperts from around the world, not just the WHO, fear that such a vaccine could never be developed.
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.
CoronavirusEvery country still needs to be on the highest alert. Ryan said it would take a long time for human life to return to normal. He further added that no one can say when the virus will end. No concrete evidence or statement can be issued in this regard.
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.
