Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stressed in a statement yesterday, Monday, that the world is still far from containing the novel pandemic of Coronavirus despite efforts to overcome the crisis.

On the other hand, Anthony Fauchi, chief expert of infectious disease in the United States of America (USA), said that the high rate of infection with the Coronavirus reported by several states could indicate that the disease may be out of control.

He recommends the authorities to replace the standing health systems and introduce new more effective ones soon..

"The United States is vulnerable to an increase in the number of infections, after the lifting of restrictions on economic activity." Fauchi told CNN.

"When you start seeing more cases in hospitals, this is definitely a warning sign that you are in a situation where you are going in the wrong direction," he added.

Well-informed sources said that 114,000 people have died so far in the United States of the deadly virus.

About 6 US states are seeing a new rise in the number of patients with the Coronavirus in hospitals.

The states of Texas and North Carolina announced on Friday that the largest number of patients with the Coronavirus has been registered in hospitals since the outbreak of the pandemic.

On the other hand, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USDCP) revealed that the total number of people infected with the Coronavirus in the United States reached two million and 16027 people, meanwhile the total number of deaths was 113914 deaths.

The USDCP added that the number of deaths increased by 947 to reach 113914 deaths.

The statistic of the "COVID-19" cases and deaths is still going higher and higher in the recent weeks. The USDCP numbers do not necessarily reflect the data issued by each inpidual state. The United States is the most affected region in the world by the outbreak of the Coronavirus.
