Srinagar, July 14: World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said that the coronavirus pandemic is going to get “worse and worse and worse”

“Yesterday, 230,000 cases of COVID-19 were reported to WHO. Almost 80% of those cases were reported from just 10 countries, and 50% come from just two countries,” Ghebreyesus said.

“Although the number of daily deaths remains relatively stable, there is a lot to be concerned about. All countries are at risk of the virus, as you know, but not all countries have been affected in the same way”.

He said:

“I want to be straight with you: there will be no return to the “old normal” for the foreseeable future”

“Mixed messages from leaders are undermining the most critical ingredient of any response: trust”.

WHO said “if governments do not clearly communicate with their citizens and roll out a comprehensive strategy focused on suppressing transmission and saving lives; If populations do not follow the basic public health principles of physical distancing, hand washing, wearing masks, coughing etiquette and staying at home when sick If the basics aren’t followed, there is only one way this pandemic is going to go”.

“It’s going to get worse and worse and worse”.
