Prepare for a 'new normal' as lockdown restrictions ease: Monday's COVID-19 WHO briefing

  • Lockdowns must be lifted strategically, and not all at once, said WHO officials at a briefing on 13 April 2020.
  • Countries with lower numbers of cases can begin easing restrictions.
  • Social distancing and handwashing need to continue longer term.
Half the world has been under some form of lockdown to slow the spread of COVID-19. While many are eager to see restrictions lifted, especially as numbers stabilize in some countries, we must remain patient and vigilant, said officials at the World Health Organization (WHO) briefing on Monday 13 April.
