SINGAPORE, March 30 (The Straits Times/ANN) - It could take several years for the coronavirus to go around the world and run its course unless something happens to abort that process, says Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, adding that the world will have to brace itself for a long battle ahead.

Singapore's much-lauded response to the Covid-19 pandemicIn response to the suggestion that Singapore has contained the virus outbreak, he said:"I hesitate to talk about success because we are right in the midst of a battle, which is intensifying."

Mr Fareed also asked about the role of the United States in the pandemic, noting that President Donald Trump did not seem interested in taking the lead. "Under the best of circumstances, it is going to be a very difficult challenge for mankind. But if the US and the Chinese are swopping insults and blaming one another for inventing the virus and letting it loose on the world, I do not think that that is going to help us solve the problem sooner."
