Coronavirus May Never Go: WHO
World health organization emergencies director Dr Mike Ryan has warned that Coronavirus would never go and it could become just another virus like HIV infection.
“This virus may become just another endemic virus in our communities and this virus may never go away,” he told a virtual press conference in Geneva.
Almost 300,000 people worldwide are reported to have died with coronavirus, and more than 4.3m cases recorded. He said that though there are more than 100 potential vaccines in development but it wouldn’t wipe out Coronavirus completely.
He further warned that lifting lockdown restrictions with new cases coming each day would result in a massive spread of virus and government would have to impose yet another lockdown to curb from it.
He added, “we may have a shot at eliminating this virus but that vaccine will have to be available, it will have to be highly effective, it will have to be made available to everyone and we’ll have to use it.”
