'We're seeing evidence that this can actually be contained and controlled, but we're not seeing that effort to contain and control it,' WHO assistant director-general Bruce Aylward said.
A top World Health Organization official said that the world is now at a crucial stage when it comes to tackling the COVID-19 virus, highlighting that governments around the world need to bolster their responses., Dr. Bruce Aylward—WHO assistant director-general who has just returned from China where he was investigating the spread of the virus—said that public health measures could"take the heat out of the outbreak" and prevent deaths.
However, as Jeff Goad, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice at Chapman University, told MarketWatch,"China can shut down entire cities, which we can't do." Team leader of the joint mission between World Health Organization and China on COVID-19, Bruce Aylward gives a press conference at the WHO headquarters in Geneva on February 25, 2020."So when we talk about the measures, we're making a judgment about human life here. And people often ask me, is that too much? It depends on how you value your vulnerable populations who are at risk here," he said.
Earlier this week, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a media briefing that the virus can be contained if the right measures are taken.
