WHO says world must be better prepared for next pandemic

WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says pandemics are "a fact of life" and that the world must be better prepared to deal with future ones.

 

The world's coronavirus cases have hit 27.1 million, more  than 18.1 million people have recovered and more than 883,000 have died.

 

"This will not be the last pandemic," Tedros told a news briefing in Geneva. "History teaches us that outbreaks and pandemics are a fact of life. But when the next pandemic comes, the world must be ready - more ready than it was this time."
