Dr. Mike Ryan, chief of emergency programs near O. BSH, has underlined that it is impossible for countries to keep borders closed in the future.

The “will be almost impossible for countries to keep their borders closed in the future. This, as economies have to open, people have to work and trade resume”, Ryan has declared.

This is the sixth time that a global health emergency has been declared, but it is even more serious. Currently, over 16 million cases of infection have been reported in WHO, and over 640 thousand deaths continue to spread rapidly. In the last 6 weeks, the number of cases has almost doubled”, Ghebraesus noted.
