7.00 WHO warns: the covid-19 pandemic is "far from over"
Covid-19 "is far from over," warned Maria Van Kerkhove, responsible for managing the pandemic at the World Health Organization (WHO).
In an interview with AFP in Geneva, the American scientist urged people to be "mentally prepared", because the coronavirus "will be with us for a while."
He also warned that "disagreements" in science and politics make the fight against the virus "even more difficult", which leaves 1.09 million dead and more than 38.5 million infections in the world, according to a count based on official data.
The director of the Europe section at the WHO, Hans Kluge, announced that "the number of daily cases increases, hospital admissions also. Covid is already the fifth cause of death and the level of 1,000 deaths per day has been reached. ".

But countries are desperate because of the recession caused by the pandemic and the way it affects social and cultural life, sports, the world of work, health systems and even electoral campaigns.
