"Evidence from different countries is giving us a clearer picture of this virus, how it behaves, how to stop it and how to treat it. We know that COVID-19 spreads quickly and we know that it is 10 times more deadly than the virus responsible for 2009 influence. " This was explained by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in the coronavirus briefing from Geneva.
Wearing masks will become the norm - Wearing the protective mask will become the norm. This was stated by WHO spokesman David Nabarro at the BBC. "The coronavirus will not go away. We don't know if the people who had it are immune or when we will have a vaccine," he explained. "So some kind of face protection will become the norm, if only to reassure people," he stressed. There is still no evidence that the vaccine against some forms of tuberculosis can protect against coronavirus: the World Health Organization underlines this in a scientific report published on its website. Hijacking stocks towards the treatment of Covid-19 could also lead to vaccine shortages, resulting in an increase in infections and deaths from tuberculosis. "There is no evidence - reads the WHO text - that the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine protects people from coronavirus infection". "Two clinical trials are underway addressing this question and WHO will evaluate the evidence when it becomes available."
