The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, says he expects COVID-19 cases will reach 10 million globally in the next week.
Tedros said the rate of new infections is accelerating:
In the first month of this outbreak, less than 10,000 cases were reported to WHO. In the last month, almost 4 million cases have been reported. We expect to reach a total of 10 million cases within the next week.
