WHO Warns Coronavirus Accelerating

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) cautioned Monday that the spread of coronavirus is quickening. 

There are more than 350,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus globally, according to FOX News. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the WHO, said that it took 67 days to confirm the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second outbreak of 100,000 cases and four days for the third outbreak of 100,000 cases. 

Ghebreyesus implored the leaders of the world’s wealthiest countries to work to combat the outbreak.

“We need unity in the G-20 countries,” he said. “Political commitment at the G-20 level means a very strong solidarity that can help us to move forward and fight this pandemic in the strongest terms possible.”
