World Health Organisation Director-General says in the past week there has been a rapid escalation in the number of covid-19 cases across the world.

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says he has a simple message to countries on how to deal with covid-19 – Test, test, test.

“This is the defining global health crisis of our time. The days, weeks and months ahead will be a test of our resolve, a test of our trust in science, and a test of solidarity. Crises like #COVID19 tend to bring out the best and worst in humanity”
