Dr Tedros said some countries which had appeared to do well in the initial stages of the pandemic were now seeing an upsurge in cases.
“Most countries are still in the early stages of their epidemics and some that were affected early in the pandemic are now starting to see a resurgence in cases,” he said.

“We should anticipate the same situation in the UK,” he said. “We should not expect this to be a sudden fall away of cases.”
