COVID-19 pandemic is 'accelerating' and 'getting worse' - World Health Organization boss warns as number of cases in the world hit nearly 12 million

The World Health Organisation has warned that the Coronavirus pandemic is "accelerating and getting worse" as lockdown measures are being relaxed in several countries in the world.

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the WHO, said the Covid-19 pandemic has still not reached its peak as he warned that coronavirus is not under control "in most of the world" and is in fact "getting worse".

He said the Coronavirus cases were increasing drastically, with almost 12million confirmed infections since the pandemic first began in China back in December.

Speaking at the member state briefing on the Covid-19 pandemic evaluation, he said:

The United States has the highest caseload and deaths in the World, with over 3 million coronavirus cases and more than 130,000 fatalities recorded so far.
