According to the WHO Representative, the situation the world is experiencing today can be seen as a war waged by humanity against the world of viruses.
The Covid-19 pandemic can be compared to a real war between humanity and viruses, believes the representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Russia, Melita Vujnovic.
“This is a war between humanity and the world of viruses,” Ms. Vujnovic said in an interview with Rossiya 1 television channel.
On March 11, the WHO declared a state of a pandemic on the planet due to the spread of the new coronavirus from the Chinese province of Hubei.
