TEHRAN (Iran News) – The World Health Organization says that the COVID-19 has spread over 100 countries and turned to pandemic.

The virus has infected 126, 460 people, killed 4, 633; also 68,313 have recovered from the potentially deadly disease, IRNA reported.

The WHO Director-General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom, said on Wednesday, “Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death.”

He added that the WHO assesses that “COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic.”
