No silver bullet against coronavirus, warns WHO chief

GENEVA: The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that at the moment there is no magic solution to deal with coronavirus.

The WHO head Tedros Adhanom said in a statement that there was no magical way to get the coronavirus vaccine, but that work was underway to develop it.

“Several coronavirus vaccines have entered Phase III and we hope there will be more vaccines that will protect against the coronavirus,” he said.

The head of the World Health Organization urged the citizens around the world to continue to follow Corona SOPs.

The comments come as the number of confirmed cases and resulting deaths from COVID-19 continue to climb worldwide. The total number of confirmed cases ion Monday is nearly 18.2 million, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, which tallied a total of 691,300 deaths.

Last week, US scientist Anthony Fawcett said he hoped the coronavirus vaccine would arrive by December this year. “A single vaccine could be declared safe by December,” he maintained.

He said that the vaccine would not be available to everyone until a few months in 2021. However, the coronavirus vaccine would be widely available after a few months in 2021.
