The World Health Organisation (WHO) on February 28 raised the risk of a global spread of Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, to “very high”. This comes after a week that saw the contagion reach all the world’s continents but Antarctica.Asserting that the growing spread outside China was “clearly of concern”, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the United Nations body had now increased “the risk of spread and the risk of impact of Covid-19 to very high at global level”. The agency had previously assessed the risk of global spread to be “high”.(Photo: AFP)
