Covid-19 pandemic ‘nowhere near over’, warns WHO

Measures to lift lockdowns around the world must be ‘slow, measured and controlled’, the organisation said.

People need to be “mentally prepared” that the Covid-19 pandemic is “nowhere near over”, global health officials have said.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said there is still “a long road ahead” and countries will be “balancing lives against livelihoods” as they make decisions about lifting lockdowns.
