Delhi: The World Health Organization (WHO) has made a shocking claim on the number of corona virus infections. The head of the WHO's emergency services has said that one in ten people worldwide may be infected with a coronavirus. In a 34-member executive board meeting on the corona virus on Monday, Dr. Michael Ryan said that the numbers could change in urban and rural areas, but that ultimately meant that the world's large population was at risk.
He said the number of corona epidemics will continue to increase, but there are tools to reduce transmission and save lives. Many deaths have been postponed and many lives could be saved. Ryan has stated that South-East Asia is experiencing an increase in corona cases, with an increase in deaths in Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, while the situation was more positive in Africa and the Western Pacific.He said that our current best estimates show that ten percent of the world's population can be affected by this virus. According to this, 76 million out of 7.6 billion people in the world can be infected with corona.
