Coronavirus crisis risks getting ‘worse and worse’, warns WHO
The new coronavirus pandemic raging around the globe will worsen if countries fail to adhere to strict healthcare precautions, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Monday.
"Let me be blunt, too many countries are headed in the wrong direction, the virus remains public enemy number one," WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
"If basics are not followed, the only way this pandemic is going to go - it is going to get worse and worse and worse," he told a virtual briefing from the UN agency's headquarters in Geneva.
On Saturday, WHO reported a record daily increase in global coronavirus cases, the total rising by 228,102 in 24 hours. The biggest rises were in the United States, Brazil, India and South Africa.
