New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the federal government has abandoned its responsibility in the coronavirus fight

The coronavirus pandemic is far from coming to an end any time soon, according to World Health Organization director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

“This is not even close to being over,” Tedros said during a media briefing in Geneva on Monday.

“Although many countries have made some progress globally, the pandemic is actually speeding up. We’re all in this together and we’re all in this for the long haul,” Tedros said. “We have already lost so much, but we can not lose hope.”

Tedros also said that Tuesday marks six months since WHO first received reports of cases of pneumonia in China from an unknown cause — which would later be identified as caused by novel coronavirus infection.

 “The six-month anniversary of the outbreak coincides with reaching 10 million cases and 500,000 deaths,” Tedros said.

“This is a moment for all of us to reflect on the progress we have made and the lessons we have learned, and to recommit ourselves to doing everything we can to save lives,” Tedros said. “Six months ago, none of us could have imagined how our world — and our lives — would be thrown into turmoil by this new virus.”
