The Dhaka Times Desk The impact of the coronavirus pandemic will be felt for decades to come, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, head of the organization, said this in a meeting of the emergency committee of the World Health Organization. This emergency committee of the World Health Organization has met four times since the start of the corona virus epidemic. There are total 18 members and 12 advisors in this committee.
In the meeting, the head of the World Health Organization said that 6 months ago you gave advice where I issued a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. At that time, not even 100 people were infected outside of China. There was no death then. But now this epidemic has become a once-in-a-century epidemic. Its impact will be felt for decades to come.'
He also said, 'Many countries think that the infection is over, but then there is a second wave of infection, which is even worse than the first. So now is not the time to be complacent. Many countries are facing severe financial crisis due to lockdown for a long time. So there is no way to avoid this virus without vaccine. Even if the vaccine comes out, we have to keep in mind that we have to learn to live with this virus. There are certain things, like wearing a mask, washing hands, keeping distance in the streets, we all have to do it ourselves.'
The meeting discussed the issues that can be taken in the current situation around the world. There is also doubt as to whether the World Health Organization will still view the virus as a pandemic. On January 30, the World Health Organization declared the Corona virus a Public Health Emergency of International Concern for the first time.
