‘Covid-19 pandemic long way from over’: WHO Chief warns

World Health Organization (WHO) Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the coronavirus pandemic is 'long from over'. "In January and February, the world saw six consecutive weeks of declining cases. We have now seen seven consecutive weeks of increasing cases, and four weeks of increasing deaths. Last week was the fourth-highest number of cases in a single week so far," Tedros said during the briefing. "Make no mistake, vaccines are a vital and powerful tool. But they are not the only tool. We say this day after day, week after week. And we will keep saying it. Physical distancing works. Masks work. Hand hygiene works. Ventilation works. Surveillance, testing, contact tracing, isolation, supportive quarantine and compassionate care - they all work to stop infections and save lives," he added. Watch the full video for more.
