The World Health Organisation WHO, yesterday confirmed a record-breaking number of coronavirus new cases within 24 hours.
Tedros Ghebreyesus, the director-general of WHO during a press conference at the agency’s headquarters in Geneva, confirmed over 100,000 new cases within 24 hours
According to Tedros, the majority of the newly confirmed cases are coming from the Americas, followed by Europe. He said the U.S. and Russia reported 45,251 and 9,263 new cases on Tuesday, respectively.
Mr. Ghebreyesus also said the WHO is “very concerned” about the rise in cases in low-and middle-income countries stating that
“We still have a long way to go in this pandemic".
They are equally concerned about the threat of the President of the united states, Donald Trump, to withdraw their funding of the health agency, stressing that emergency programs will suffer if Trump follows through on his threats.
