The World Health Organization (WHO) said the novel coronavirus was yet
to be brought under control "in most of the world", while warning that
it was actually "getting worse".
Speaking at a briefing on
Friday, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said: "The
virus has upended health systems in some of the world's wealthiest
nations, while some countries that have mounted a successful response
have been of modest means.
"In most of the world the virus is not under control. It is getting worse."
The
WHO chief added that the pandemic was "still accelerating", as the
total number of COVID-19 cases worldwide has "doubled in the last six
week", the Metro newspaper reported.
As of Saturday, the total
number of global coronavirus cases stood at 12,507,849, while the
fatalities rose to 560,460, according to the Johns Hopkins University.
The
US currently accounted for the world's highest number of infections and
fatalities at 3,182,385 and 134,073, respectively, while Brazil came in
the second place with 1,800,827 cases and 70,398 deaths.
