Countries are lifting coronavirus restrictions too soon, says WHO

WHO said that the countries are lifting COVID-19 restrictions too soon and it can hamper efforts to contain the virus. Asian countries have reported a resurgence in cases recently. China, Japan, and Korea reported a resurgence in new coronavirus cases. “While Covid-19 accelerates very fast, it decelerates much more slowly. In other words, the way down is much slower than the way up,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said
