Lockdown alone is not enough to extinguish coronavirus: WHO

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that lockdowns, being implemented by several countries to combat coronavirus, alone "will not extinguish epidemics". "Asking people to stay at home and shutting down population movement is buying time...Aggressive measures to find, isolate, test, treat and trace is...the best way to prevent them," he added.
