World Should fight like South Korea from Covid-19: UN chief

United Nations, Ep. The UN chief said he hoped many countries of the world would follow the spectacular measures taken by South Korea. He said that South Korea has been very successful in catching the corona virus epidemic and now the country plans to tackle climate change after defeating COVID-19. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in the announcement on Thursday that no new cases have been revealed in the Republic of Korea (the country’s official name).

He said, South Korea has overcome the epidemic as well as plans for a very ambitious green deal, including a ban on new coal-fired plants and a reduction in emissions from existing coal-based plants. “We hope that this example of the Republic of Korea will be followed by many other countries in the world,” Guterres said at a news conference.

The Korea Center for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement early Thursday that four cases had been reported in the last 24 hours, all imported, with a total of 10,765 people being killed by the Corona virus in the country, killing 247 people. 9,059 people were recovered.

The infection has become milder in recent weeks in South Korea after hundreds of new cases were reported every day between late February and early March. Where again the social distancing guidelines in the country relaxed and it is expected that more restrictions will come down in the coming days. Let us tell you that the first case of corona virus in South Korea was confirmed on 20 January. The first case was also reported in the United States on the same day.

But unlike the US, officials there used a test focused on the gene target, similar to the World Health Organization recommended test. By then the government had also allowed private sector laboratories to build it. According to the test manufacturer’s website.
