Mr. Ryan, who is in charge of crisis response at WHO, said that the number of infected people is increasing again in countries where the number of new infected people has calmed down, "The virus that could not be suppressed in the first wave Is spreading again and is not a "second wave"," he said, recognizing that he was still unable to contain the first wave.
