The World Health Organization says countries around the World, should now focus on four essential priorities, to prevent the further spread of covid-19.
The four priorities, include protecting those most vulnerable to the virus, and avoiding hosting amplifying events, such as concerts and other large gatherings.
The Director-General of the WHO, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, says focus should also be placed on testing for, and isolating those with the virus, while communities should be reminded to wear their masks and regularly wash their hands.
Ghebreyesus says saving lives and defeating the virus, should be a collective, worldwide effort.

"3⃣ we’re only beginning to understand the long-term health impacts among people with #COVID19. I have met with patient groups suffering with what is now being described as “Long COVID” to understand their suffering & needs so we can advance research & rehabilitation"-@DrTedros

" 2⃣the vast majority of people in most countries remain susceptible to this virus. Seroprevalence surveys suggest that in most countries, less than 10% of the population have been infected with the #COVID19 virus"-@DrTedros
