As the number of cases of the coronavirus creeps close to 1 million and deaths reach nearly 50,000, the head of the World Health Organization says that he is “deeply concerned” about the continued escalation and rapid spread of the deadly disease.
As Fox News reports, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus held a virtual press conference from the organization’s Geneva headquarters, where he talked about the number of cases of the disease and the difficulty in keeping up with the evolving knowledge about how the virus functions.
He said that he is “deeply concerned” about the “rapid escalation and global spread” of COVID-19.
“Over the past five weeks, we have witnessed a near exponential growth in the number of new cases, reaching almost every country, territory, and area,” Tedros said.
He said that he believes global cases will go past 1 million cases and 50,000 deaths in the near future.
