The coronavirus pandemic could run its course in less than two years, the head of the World Health Organization said this week.
As Anadolu Agency reported, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus appeared in a webinar and fielded a question about the similarities between the current outbreak and the Spanish Flu pandemic that lasted from February 2018 to April 2020. He noted that current outbreak is spread more easily due to greater world travel, but also has the advantage of modern technologies.
In all, Ghebreyesus said he believes the coronavirus pandemic may end up following a similar timeline to the outbreak of more than a century ago.
“So, it took two years to stop. And in our situation now with more technology and of course we have a disadvantage of globalization, closeness, connectedness but an advantage of better technology, so we hope to finish this pandemic in less than two years,” he said.
