The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) warned young people on Friday that they were “not invincible” in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, also calling on them to limit their social life to preserve the most vulnerable.
“Today I have a message for young people: you are not invincible. This virus can lead you to the hospital for weeks – and even kill you. Even if you do not get sick, the choices you make traveling can be a matter of life and death for someone else, “warned Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus during an online press conference from Geneva.
The example of Wuhan, a “hope” in the face of the pandemic
The example of Wuhan, epicenter of the coronavirus epidemic in China where no new case of local origin has been recorded since Thursday, is a “hope” for the world, said Friday the director general of the WHO . “Yesterday, Wuhan did not report any new cases for the first time since the emergence of the epidemic,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at an online press conference from Geneva. “Wuhan gives hope to the rest of the world by showing that even the most serious situation is reversible,” he added.
