Coronavirus pandemic accelerating with Americas worst, warns WHO
The coronavirus pandemic is accelerating, with Thursday’s 150,000 new cases the highest in a single day and nearly half of those in the Americas, the World Health Organization (WHO) said. As well as the Americas, a large number of new cases were coming from South Asia and the Middle East, Director General Tedros added.
With trials underway around the world to find medicines and a vaccine for COVID-19, WHO officials warned that large-scale testing would be needed with side-effects carefully monitored.
