During a media briefing Wednesday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of the WHO, said there are now more than 118,000 cases of COVID-19 in 114 countries, with 4,291 deaths.

 

He said in the days and weeks ahead, they expect to see the number of cases and deaths "climb even higher," and expressed concern over the levels of "inaction" in some countries.

 

WHAT IS A PANDEMIC?

 

"We have called every day for countries to take urgent and aggressive action," Tedros said. "We have rung the bell loud and clear."

 

Tedros stressed that there is still an opportunity for countries to reverse the course of the outbreak if they work to contain the spread.
