WHO, nobody wants lockdowns but compromises are needed

(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 26 - "Nobody wants more lockdowns but if we want to avoid them, we must all do our part. We cannot have the economic recovery we want and live our lives as we did before the Covid-19 pandemic".

This was said by WHO director general Tedros AdhanomGhebreyesus.

"We can keep our children in school, we can keep businesses open, we can preserve lives and livelihoods. But we all have to compromise and sacrifice," he added.

    "Last week there was the highest number of Covid-19 reported so far. Many countries in the Northern Hemisphere are seeing a worrying increase in cases and hospitalizations. And intensive care units are reaching their maximum capacity in some places, particularly in Europe and North America ", the WHO leaders added in the briefing:" There is no doubt that Europe is an epicenter of the pandemic right now ".
