Mr tandesay said that the current use of the term "pandemic" is not in line with the facts, will undoubtedly cause panic and will not help prevent infection or save lives He pointed out that it was time for all countries, communities, families and individuals to focus on controlling the epidemic and preparing for a possible "pandemic" Who will continue to conduct risk assessment and constantly monitor the development and change of the epidemic Michael Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergency project, said on the same occasion that "pandemic" means that the global population is at risk of contracting the disease, and that some of them may eventually become infected At present, it seems that the number of confirmed cases in China has declined significantly under the strong resistance to the virus, which is contrary to the logic of "pandemic" Ruian stressed that novel coronavirus pneumonia is now a "pandemic" and it is too early for people to prepare for the possible "pandemic" "We are still trying to avoid making it a reality, and some countries have succeeded in doing so Adorable adorable
