Geneva:
Coronavirus cases are increasing worldwide. More than 43 lakh cases of COVID-19 have been reported so far. Nearly three lakh people have died. The World Health Organization has declared the disease an epidemic. On Wednesday, the WHO warned that the coronavirus may never end and the world will have to learn to live with it.
The WHO stated that coronavirus will not be completely eradicated. Michael Ryan, the organization’s director of emergency services, said in a press conference held in Geneva, “For the first time a new virus is entering the human population and so it is very difficult to predict when we will dominate it.” Corona may become just another endemic virus in our communities and it may never end.
He further said, ‘HIV has not ended but we have learned to live on conditions with that virus. Most countries put a lockdown to prevent the virus, but the WHO warned that there was no guarantee that it would not spread after that and we could get rid of the virus. For now, it will take a long time for the situation to become normal.
Michael Ryan also condemned the attacks on health workers in many countries of the world. He said that in April there were 35 cases of serious attacks on health workers in 11 countries. Attacks on health workers are disappointing.
Significantly, Coronavirus is growing rapidly in countries around the world as well as in India. According to reports, the virus, which has spread in more than 180 countries, has taken nearly three lakh lives so far. More than 4.3 million people have been infected worldwide. The number of people infected with this virus in India has reached 78,003. In the last 24 hours, 3,722 new cases of corona have been reported and 134 people have died.

On March 24, PM Narendra Modi announced a 21-day lockdown in the country due to the rescue from Corona. After which, on April 14, the PM once again addressed the people of the country and informed them about the extension of the lockdown for 19 days.
