Vaccine needed to fully halt spread of COVID-19: WHO
GENEVA, April 13, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The World Health Organization said
Monday that a safe and effective vaccine would be needed to fully halt
the spread of COVID-19, which has killed more than 114,000 people
worldwide.
“Our global connectedness means the risk of re-introduction and
resurgence of COVID19 will continue,” WHO Director-General Tedros
Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a virtual briefing from Geneva, stressing
that “ultimately, the development and delivery of a safe and effective
vaccine will be needed to fully interrupt transmission.”
