The coronavirus pandemic is accelerating across the world and
physical distancing measures are not enough to stop the spread, the
head of the World Health Organization warned Monday.
Asking people to stay at home and other physical distancing measures
are an important way to slow down the spread of the virus and buy
time, but they are defensive measures that wont help us to win,
Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press briefing.
Tedros said countries hit with the virus also need to implement
tactics such as isolating and caring for every confirmed case, as
well as tracing and quarantining all of the patients close contacts.
To win, we need to attack the virus with aggressive and targeted
tactics, he told reporters.
Tedros acknowledged that the infectious disease has spread rapidly to
more than 300,000 people in almost every country in the world.
The pandemic is accelerating, he said. It took 67 days from the first
reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the
second 100,000 and just four days for the third 100,000.
But he insisted that its not too late to stop the spread of the
dangerous bug, which first emerged in December.
We are not prisoners to statistics, he said. We are not hopeless
bystanders. We can change the trajectory of this pandemic.
