The coronavirus pandemic has entered a “new and dangerous phase” as daily COVID-19 cases hit record highs, the World Health Organization warned Friday.
The number of new cases reported Thursday “were the most in a single day so far,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press conference from the agency’s Geneva headquarters.
“Many people are understandably fed up with being at home. Countries are understandably eager to open up their societies and economies. But the virus is still spreading fast. It is still deadly and most people are still susceptible,” he said.
