WHO's Tedros: Risk from virus remains high and we have a long road to travel

"The risk from the coronavirus remains high and we have a long road to travel," World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the World Health Assembly on Monday.

"Countries that move too fast on easing COVID measures without putting in place public health architecture run a real risk of handicapping their own recovery," Tedros added.
