Fabrice COFFRINI / POOL / AFPThe World Health Organization on Thursday warned that spikes in coronavirus transmission in a number of countries were being driven by young people “letting down their guard”.

“Young people can be infected, young people can die, and young people can transmit the virus to others.” WHO ‘s technical lead for COVID-19 Maria Van Kerkhove lamented in particular that nightclubs in a number of places had become “amplifiers” of transmission.
