Health body says virus is 'still spreading fast' despite imposed lockdowns. FMTNews
People wearing face masks wait to cross an intersection in Beijing last month.
Lockdowns imposed to halt the spread of the disease have caused crippling economic damage, but the WHO said the pandemic still posed a major threat. In a sign of the persisting risks, ISS, Italy’s top health agency, also urged caution after last week seeing “warning signs” of virus transmission following two outbreaks in Rome.
However, they fell short of reaching a deal on a plan seen as a key gesture of the bloc’s solidarity and unity. Chinese authorities said studies of genome data, which it had shared with the WHO, suggest the new outbreak in Beijing “came from Europe”, but is different from what is currently spreading there.
