The COVID-19 pandemic is “accelerating,” World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday.
“The pandemic is accelerating. It took 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second 100,000 cases and just four days for the third 100,000 cases. You can see how the virus is accelerating,” he said at a press conference in Geneva.
