WHO says no return to 'normal' as Latin America deaths pass US

Too many nations are mismanaging their coronavirus response, placing a return to normality a long way off, the World Health Organization warned Monday as Latin America recorded the world's second-highest death toll. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that too many countries were 'headed in the wrong direction' with governments giving out mixed messages that were undermining trust. 'There will be no return to the 'old normal' for the foreseeable future,' he said, warning that without governments adopting a comprehensive strategy, the situation would get 'worse and worse and worse'.
