The World Health Organization continues to sound the alarm as to the spread of the coronavirus worldwide. After saying that this virus will accompany us for a long time, she said he “might never disappear”.
Yesterday, Wednesday, May 13, during a videoconference, Michael Ryan, director of health emergency questions at the WHO, assured that the coronavirus could “never disappear” and become a disease with which humanity will have to learn to live.
“We have a new virus that penetrates the human population for the first time and it is therefore very difficult to say when we can defeat it,” he explained, quoted by AFP.
For him, COVID-19 could even become endemic just like HIV, “a virus that has not left, but with which we are trying to compose”.
According to the latest upgrades to epidemiological assessments, the world currently has 4.35 million experienced cases, including 297 thousand dead and 1.55 million healing.
In Tunisia, for the 4th consecutive day, no new contamination has been recorded. 443 tests carried out to bring the total number of tests to 34,323. The Ministry of Health added that the number of confirmed cases in Tunisia remains stable at 1032, with 19 new healings (759 in total).
