Executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Programme Dr. Mike Ryan said,  “I really am very concerned, that all of us, governments and individuals alike think in some way that we’re through this, we’re not!”

Dr. Ryan also said, “the arrival of vaccines is a moment of great hope but it potentially also is a moment where we lose concentration.”

The Worldwide COVID-19 cases registered thus far are 116M and counting, there have been 65.8M recoveries and unfortunately 2.59M people have succumbed to the disease.
