KDRTV understands that the pandemic in the Western country seem to be stable or declining, the trend in Africa is still escalating as well as in Central America, South America, and Eastern Europe, despite low case numbers

While speaking to the journalists, Tedros said that despite the fact that total lockdown and social distancing has helped to suppress the spread of the virus, the pandemic remains extremely dangerous

According to the WHO chief, many populations of the global population continues to be at risk and thus the virus outbreak may re-ignite

“One of the greatest dangers we face now is complacency. People in countries with stay-at-home orders are understandably frustrated with being confined to their homes for weeks on end”, he said responding to the question posed by some citizens that they are tired of staying home.

Tedros also responded to claims that some Africans in some countries were being discriminated for instance those living in China

“Stigma and discrimination are never acceptable anywhere at anytime, and must be fought in all countries”, he said, adding, “as I have said many times, this is a time for solidarity, not stigma”
