The World Health Organisation on Monday called for countries to test every suspected case of COVID-19, as the rest of the world registered more cases and deaths in the pandemic than China.

More cases and deaths have now been reported in the rest of the world than in China, where the new coronavirus first surfaced in December, he added. The WHO chief warned that as cases are soaring “we have not seen an urgent enough escalation in testing, isolation and contact tracing, which is the backbone of the response”.He hailed dramatic measures put in place by a range of governments, including the closing of schools and shops, pointing out that “social distancing measures can help to reduce transmission and enable health systems to cope”.

“To do that, you must test and isolate,” he said, stressing that “we cannot stop this pandemic if we don’t know who is infected”.He hailed the surging production in tests to meet the global demand, and noted that the WHO itself had shipped nearly 1.5 million tests to 120 countries, to help those most in need.

Aimed at bailing out the wealthy and big political donors. It will fail miserably
