The Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has urged global citizens to be really mindful about the decisions they make in the midst of the second wave of Coronavirus around the world.
According to him, decisions about where to travel, who to meet and what to do should now be seen as life-and-death decisions.
He made the appeal in a statement posted on UN Twitter handle.
He noted that “we’re asking everyone to treat the decisions about where they go, what they do, who they meet, as life-and-death decisions – because they are.”
His appeal comes as the Johns Hopkins University reported that the world has so far recorded some 96,906,712 confirmed cases of Coronavirus and 2,075,902 deaths linked to the virus.
A number of countries around the world including the UK and Ghana are recording second waves of Coronavirus.
