The world needs to “wake up and consider this enemy infection as open adversary number one,” Tedros cautioned.

“It’s the most exceedingly terrible adversary you can envision.”
Up until this point, the infection has contaminated more than 45,000 individuals around the world — albeit 99 percent of the cases have happened inside China and just two fatalities have been accounted for outside the Chinese terrain.
