Aslıhan DOĞRU -TDO- World Health Organization (WHO) Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called for the fair use of these resources, stating that the world has the means to control the new type of coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic within a few months.

"If we use our resources effectively and fairly, it is possible to contain this epidemic globally in a few months," the WHO chief told a daily news conference.

Ghebreyesus said that due to the more contagious strain of Covid-19, the increasing number of cases in the group between the ages of 25 and 59 was also alarming, adding that "1 million fatalities were recorded in 9 months, increased to 2 million after 4 months, and the loss of life in 3 months was 3 million."
