GUWAHATI: The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that most countries are still in the early stages of tackling the Coronavirus pandemic.
The World Health Organisation director-general Adhanom Ghebreyesus Tedros said some countries that thought they had the new coronavirus under control were witnessing a resurgence in cases, while there were troubling upward trends in Africa and the Americas.
He also insisted that the UN health agency had declared a global emergency in good time on 30 January for countries to prepare and plan their response.

During a virtual press briefing, Tedros said, “Most of the epidemics in western Europe appear to be stable or declining”.
“Most countries are still in the early stages of their epidemics. And some that were affected early in the pandemic are now starting to see a resurgence in cases”, he further said in the briefing.
Tedros also said, “Make no mistake: we have a long way to go. This virus will be with us for a long time.”
