The Director-General World Heath Organisation (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has revealed that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic might still last for two more years.
While addressing newsmen in a WHO press briefing in Geneva, Switzerland on Friday, Ghebreyesus said that with modern technology and international cooperation, COVID-19 battle could be won in less than two years.
“I am hoping we can have additional tools like a vaccine, I think we can finish it in a shorter time than the 1918 flu.” He said.
He added that the coronavirus can spread more easily because the world is far more interconnected than it was 100 years ago, modern technology has given humanity the tools to fight the virus more effectively than the Spanish flu.
