The worldwide lockdowns put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus will need to remain in place at least partially until a vaccine is created sometime next year, a new study has suggested.
As CNN reported, the medical study based on the first outbreak of COVID-19 in China and published in the medical journal The Lancet this week used medical research and mathematical modeling to predict that a second wave of infection could sweep across the globe if these measures are lifted too soon. The report noted that while officials around the Chinese city of Wuhan — where the outbreak was first reported — have started to end the stringent lockdown put in place in January, there is still high risk for the virus continuing to spread.
