WHO’s Michael Ryan acknowledges that countries facing explosive outbreaks have some ‘stark choices’ ahead.
Touching almost every country on Earth since it emerged in China late last year, the coronavirus has hit at least 10.8 million people and killed 521,000 worldwide. “There are good economic reasons that the countries need to bring their economies back online,” he said. It could be possible to loosen restrictions in areas with lower transmission rates and still contain the outbreak through things like physical distancing, hand-washing, testing, isolating cases and contact tracing.
“It is looking at: can you control transmission by any other means other than transmission? If you can’t, you may not have an alternative” to lockdown.
