“The Covid-19 pandemic is “nowhere near over”, warns Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, urging governments to reintroduce restrictive measures like face masks to “push back” against a rise in global Covid cases.
In a speech at a news conference in Geneva on Tuesday, the Director-General emphasised his “concern” over rising coronavirus cases, stating “further pressure” is being burdened on “health systems and health workers”.
Noting the recent spike in hospitalisations of patients with coronavirus, he urged governments to “deploy tried and tested measures like masking, improved ventilation and test and treat protocols”.
