‘Impossible’ to say when COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic will peak: WHO

The World Health Organization said Friday it was not yet possible to say when the COVID-19 pandemic, which has killed more than 5,000 people worldwide, will peak.

“It’s impossible for us to say when this will peak globally,” Maria Van Kerkhove, who heads the WHO’s emerging diseases unit, told a virtual press conference, adding that “we hope that it is sooner rather than later.”
