COVID-19 death toll exceeds 8,000 as over 200,000 cases reported globally – WHO
More than 200,000 cases of COVID-19 have been reported globally, among which over 8,000 people have lost their lives, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said here Wednesday.
Eighty percent of all cases worldwide were reported in two regions — the Western Pacific region and the European region, noted Tedros.
He stressed there are many things all countries can do although different countries and communities are in different situations, with different levels of COVID-19 transmission.
“That same spirit of solidarity must be at the center of our efforts to defeat COVID-19,” said Tedros.
