The World Health Organisation (WHO) on Wednesday said the world recorded over 100,000 new cases of coronavirus over the last 24 hours.
This was announced by the WHO director-general, Tedros Ghebreyesus, during a press 0conference at the agency’s headquarters, Geneva.According to the WHO official, the majority of the newly confirmed cases are coming from the Americas, followed by Europe. He said the U.S. and Russia reported 45,251 and 9,263 new cases on Tuesday, respectively.
The agency has told countries that they will need to live with the coronavirus for the foreseeable future even as cases level off or decline in some countries while peaking in others and resurging in areas where the pandemic appeared to be under control. WHO officials said they are worried their emergency programs will suffer if Trump follows through on his threats.
“We’ll obviously have to work with other partners to ensure those funds can still flow,” Mr Ryan said. “This is going to be a major implication for delivering essential health services to some of the most vulnerable people in the world and we trust developed donors will, if necessary, step in to fill that gap.”
