jun 20, 2020 - Coronavirus accelerating says WHO

Description:

Coronavirus accelerating in 'new and dangerous phase', says World Health Organisation.

Almost half of new cases were reported from the Americas as UN body warns countries over easing lockdowns.

The coronavirus pandemic is now in a "new and dangerous phase", the World Health Organisation has said, with the disease accelerating at the same time as people tire of lockdowns.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO chief, urged nations and citizens to remain extremely vigilant, as the number of cases reported to the UN health agency hit a new peak.

"The pandemic is accelerating. More than 150,000 new cases of Covid-19 were reported to WHO yesterday - the most in a single day so far," Tedros told a virtual press conference on Friday.

He said almost half of those cases were reported from the Americas, with large numbers also being reported from South Asia and the Middle East. (The Telegraph)
