“Lockdown” is not enough to prevent coronavirus, public health measures needed: World Health Organization

Washington DC, 23/3: Only locking down countries won’t prevent Coronavirus infection. “We need to take action on public health to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection in the future,” said a senior World Health Organization official on Sunday.

“People who are sick and infected with the virus should be identified and isolated,” said Mike Ryan, an expert at the World Health Organization. It is important to find out who they are in contact with and find out who they are. This is the current course of action.

It’s dangerous to just lock down without taking action on public health now,” he said. This is because the danger is likely to return once the “lockdown” has withdrawn.
