While confirmed and fatal covid-19 cases continue to grow globally, some countries have lifted or are considering lifting restrictions. In this regard, WHO stresses that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over and that it is not the time to lift all restrictions at once. Since the mutated new coronavirus Omiljung strain is still active around the world, the countries concerned should take a steady and slow approach to gradually "unblock". (End)
