WHO warns of ''Second Peak'' of the Coronavirus pandemic as countries lift lockdown
The World Health Organization has warned that many countries could begin to see the ''second peak'' of the Coronavirus pandemic if the lockdown restrictions are lifted too soon.
WHO Head of Emergency, Mike Ryan, who issued the warning in a press conference, said epidemics often come in waves, which means that outbreaks could come back later this year in places where the first wave has subsided. He said there was also a chance that infection rates could rise again more quickly if measures to halt the first wave were lifted too soon.
In his words
Many African, European, and Asian countries as well as the U.S., have taken steps in recent weeks to lift lockdown measures due to its impact on the global economy.
