WHO Warns 'No Return to Normal' Amid Pandemic

The World Health Organization (WHO) warned Monday that there would be “no return to the old 'normal’ for the foreseeable future” as COVID-19 cases rise across the globe.

Nearly 13 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported around the world resulting in nearly 570,000 deaths, according to data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.

In a regular briefing streamed online, WHO head Tedros Adhanom said that “it’s never too late to bring the virus under control,” but warned that “too many countries are headed in the wrong direction.”

"Mixed messages from leaders are undermining the most critical ingredient of any response: trust. If governments do not clearly communicate with their citizens and roll out a comprehensive strategy focused on suppressing transmission and saving lives,” he said.

India set a new one-day record for its number of new coronavirus cases, while the United States continued to add to a surge in infections and Mexico surpassed Italy in terms of COVID-19 deaths.

Indian health officials said Monday there were 28,701 new confirmed cases in the past 24 hours.  The country trails only the United States and Brazil in total cases since the outbreak began late last year and authorities in several states are putting back in place lockdown restrictions to try to slow the spread of the virus.
