Coronavirus outbreak: WHO official says ‘trajectory’ of virus depends on each country’s response
Description
March 13, 2020
The World Health Organization's (WHO) Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove said on Friday that the timing of when the COVID-19 virus would peak globally was not easy to predict, however the trajectory of the coronavirus in each country would depend on how they respond and how they react to their first cases. She also said that the timing of the virus peaking in countries dealing with independent clusters would depend on how they look for the chains of transmission within the clusters.
