A message of caution from coverage of the WHO:

The chief of the World Health Organization has warned that complacency is the ‘greatest danger’ facing countries in the fight against coronavirus. Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the virus ‘remains extremely dangerous’ and many of the world’s population were still susceptible to the disease. ‘Make no mistake, we have a long way to go. This virus will be with us for a long time,’ the WHO chief said.
