Lifting coronavirus lockdown determines prematurely might stimulate a “fatal revival” in infections, the World Health Organization chief has actually warned.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said nations must be cautious about relieving constraints, even as some battle with the financial impact.
Europe’s worst hit countries, Spain and Italy, are both unwinding some measures, while their lockdowns continue.
Worldwide there are 1.6 million cases of coronavirus and 101,000 deaths.
Speaking at a virtual news conference in Geneva, Dr Tedros said there had actually been a “welcome slowing down” of the upsurges in some European countries.
He said the WHO was working with governments to form strategies for relieving constraints, but that this should not be done too soon.

” The way down can be as unsafe as the way up if not managed effectively.”
