WHO says world ‘squandered’ its first opportunity to stop the coronavirus outbreak
Description
March 25, 2020
The time to act to fight the novel coronavirus was one or two months ago, and countries “squandered” the opportunity, according to the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO). Speaking at a briefing on Wednesday, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that there is a second opportunity which we should not squander and instead do everything to suppress and control the spread of COVID-19.
