The new coronavirus pandemic is clearly "accelerating," the World Health Organization (WHO) warned Monday, but said it was still possible to "change the trajectory" of the outbreak. "The pandemic is accelerating," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told journalists in a virtual news briefing, saying, "It took 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second 100,000 cases and just four days for the third 100,000 cases." But he said: "We are not helpless bystanders. We can change the trajectory of this pandemic." He also stated that social distancing and staying at home are defensive measures against the pandemic. Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an immediate global cease-fire to protect war-ravaged communities from the coronavirus pandemic. Guterres urged warring parties to "end the sickness of war and fight the disease that is ravaging our world. It starts by stopping the fighting everywhere now." He said this was crucial to help create corridors for life-saving aid and open channels for diplomacy. The U.N. chief said the most vulnerable – children, people with disabilities, the marginalized and the displaced – are "at the highest risk of suffering devastating losses from COVID-19," pointing to collapsed health systems and often-targeted medics. There are more than 350,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus worldwide, and the pandemic has caused more than 15,000 deaths.

- विश्वव्यापी महामारीको रूपमा रहेको कोरोना भाइरसको सङ्क्रमण थप देशहरूमा पनि पुष्टि भएका छन्। विश्व स्वास्थ्य सङ्गठन (डब्लूएचओ)ले अहिलेसम्म विश्वका ११० देशमा कोरोना भाइरसको सङ्क्रमण पुष्टि भएको बुधबार जनाएको छ। कोरोना भाइरसले स्वरूप परिवर्तन गर्दै गएपनि महामारी भने अझै अन्य नभएको र धेरै देशमा अहिले पनि सङ्क्रमण देखिइरहेको डब्लुएचओका अधिकारीहरूले जनाएका छन्। 'महामारीको स्वरूप परिवर्तन भइरहेको छ, तर महामारी अन्त्य भएको छैन, नयाँ नयाँ स्वरूपमा आउने गरेकाले पूर्ण नियन्त्रण गर्न गाह्रो भएको छ,' डब्लूएचओका महानिर्देशक टेड्रोस अधानोम घेब्रेयससले भने। विश्वभरीको तथ्यांक हेर्दा अहिले औसतमा २० प्रतिशत सङ्क्रमण बृद्धि भएको पनि उनले जानकारी दिए। डब्लूएचओले सबै देशलाई कोरोना भाइरस विरुद्धको खोप लगाउन आग्रह गर्दै आएको र धेरै देशमा कम्तीमा ७० प्रतिशत जनताले खोप लगाएको पाइएको छ। पछिल्लो १८ महिनामा विश्वभरी १२ अर्ब खोप वितरण गरिएको पनि उहाँले पत्रकार सम्मेलनमा जानकारी दिए। 'विश्वका ५८ देशले मात्रै ७० प्रतिशतभन्दा बढीलाई कोरोना भाइरसविरूद्धको खोप लगाइसकेका छन्। अन्य कतिपय देशले आर्थिक समस्याका कारण खोपको सङ्ख्या त्यो तहसम्म पुर्याउन सकेका छैनन्,' उनले भने। न्युन आय भएका देशहरूलाई डब्लुएचओ लगायतका कतिपय सहयोगी संस्था तथा निकायको सहयोगमा केही खोप उपलब्ध गराइएको पनि उनले बताए।
