Without taking any specific politicians’ names, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO head, also chastised political leaders for their mixed messages, in relation to coronavirus pandemic.
Tedros claimed that if basics are not followed, then the catastrophe will surely get worse and worse.

Deaths from the virus have been rising in the U.S., especially in the South and West, though they are still well below the numbers extended in April, according to a recent Associated Press inspection of data from Johns Hopkins University.
Adm. Brett Giroir, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, called mask-wearing in the the the crowd, which has been met with opposition in some U.S. states, “absolutely essential.”
Giroir, the assistant secretary at the Health and Human Services Department, told on Sunday that if we don’t have that, we will not get restraint of the virus.
Considering the WHO experts in China, the country’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Hua Chunying, said they would labor with Chinese scientists and medical experts on scientific cooperation on the recent coronavirus tracing case.
