Premature lifting of containment measures taken to stem the spread of the new coronavirus could lead to a “deadly resurgence” of the pandemic, warns the head of the World Health Organization (WHO).

“I know that some countries are already preparing the transition to break containment restrictions. Like everyone else, WHO would like to see the restrictions lifted. But lifting the restrictions too quickly could result in a deadly resurgence “of the pandemic, said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
“The ebb (of the pandemic) could be as deadly as its spread if it is not managed properly,” he added during a virtual press conference in Geneva, headquarters of the UN agency.
WHO is consulting with the countries concerned to develop strategies for progressive and safe deconfinement. Six conditions must be met: control the transmission of the virus, ensure the provision of public health and care, minimize the risk in exposed environments such as long-term health facilities, put in place preventive measures at work, in schools and other places frequented, control the risk of imported cases and finally empower the populations.
“Everyone has a role to play in overcoming the pandemic,” said Tedros.
