Impact of coronavirus will be felt for decades to come,says WHO Chief

The global coronavirus outbreak is the sort of disaster whose effects will last far into the future, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced on Friday.

“The pandemic is a once-in-a-century health crisis, the effects of which will be felt for decades to come,” Tedros told a meeting of the WHO’s emergency committee, according to statements issued by the agency.

The pandemic has killed more than 670,000 people since emerging late last year in Wuhan, China, with more than 17 million cases diagnosed.
