confirmed in a press conference held by the organization this evening in Geneva that the Coronavirus remains extremely dangerous and that the epidemic can return again.





Dr. Tedros reaffirmed that dealing with the dangerous Coronavirus needs to focus all the time on measures of protection and prevention, detecting cases of infection, isolating the infected and tracking contacts.









On the return of the international movement, Dr. Michael J. Ryan, Chairman of the Emergency Committee at the World Health Organization, said that international travel will be more challenging in the future, traveling again must be taken carefully, it should start at the regional level or between neighboring countries with an emphasis on risk management, given that the status of the Coronavirus control is different from a country to another.





Ryan noted that countries' adherence to the six elements of prevention identified by the WHO, will reduce the risk of movement between countries and that the organization will continue to study this matter in the next stage.
