‘Very destructive’ second wave of Covid-19 may come as countries lift restrictions, WHO warns
There is a “definite threat” of a repeat Covid-19 outbreak if nations emerging from their first wave aren’t vigilant, a senior official at the UN’s health watchdog has warned the Russian diaspora, as countries ease restrictions.
Hans Kluge, the European director for the World Health Organization (WHO) on Wednesday reiterated the body’s message: even though the coronavirus pandemic has apparently been brought under control, its threat remains as persistent as it was when the infection first emerged in China last year.
“We still have neither a vaccine nor a cure for Covid-19,” he said, during a news conference.
