WHO Warns 'No Return to Normal' Amid Pandemic

VOA News

   The World Health Organization (WHO) warned Monday that there would be
   "no return to the old 'normal' for the foreseeable future" as COVID-19
   cases rise across the globe.

   Nearly 13 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported around
   the world resulting in nearly 570,000 deaths, according to data from
   the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.

   In a regular briefing streamed online, WHO head Tedros Adhanom said
   that "it's never too late to bring the virus under control," but warned
   that "too many countries are headed in the wrong direction."

   "Mixed messages from leaders are undermining the most critical
   ingredient of any response: trust. If governments do not clearly
   communicate with their citizens and roll out a comprehensive strategy
   focused on suppressing transmission and saving lives," he said.

   India set a new one-day record for its number of new coronavirus cases,
   while the United States continued to add to a surge in infections and
   Mexico surpassed Italy in terms of COVID-19 deaths.
