The chief of the World Health Organization encouraged individuals to rehearse the nuts and bolts of general wellbeing to stop flare-ups of COVID-19. The chief of the World Health Organization cautioned Monday that there may never be a “silver Bullet” for eliminating COVID-19, even as tension builds from the White House to make a vaccine a long time before the finish of this current year.
“A number of vaccines are now in phase 3 clinical trials and we all hope to have a number of effective vaccines that can help prevent people from infection,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a media conference. “However, there’s no silver bullet at the moment and there might never be.”

"For now, stopping #COVID19 outbreaks comes down to the basics of public health and disease control.
Testing, isolating and treating patients, and tracing and quarantining their contacts.
Inform, empower and listen to communities. Do it all"-@DrTedros

Tedros rather focused on the significance of working out the essentials of general wellbeing and attacks control to prevent outbreak from happening.
“Testing, isolating and treating patients, and tracing and quarantining their contacts. Do it all,” he encouraged.
There are as of now six coronavirus vaccine candidates in late-stage testing or near it.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, top of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a White House coronavirus team’s significant part, said a week ago that he’s “cautiously optimistic that we will have a vaccine by the end of this year and as we go into 2021.”
However, Fauci has likewise said he doesn’t accept the infection will ever be dispensed with.
“I think with a combination of good public health measures, a degree of global herd immunity and a good vaccine, which I do hope and feel cautiously optimistic that we will get, I think when we put all three of those together, we will get control of this, whether it’s this year or next year. I’m not certain,” he told the TB Alliance in a meeting a month ago. “I don’t generally observe us eradicating it.”
President Donald Trump, interestingly, has over and again demanded that the infection will one day “disappear” and has called Fauci a “alarmist.” At a news conference a month ago, Trump said he expects there will be a vaccine “long before the year’s end.”
The Department of Health and Human Services told the White House in the beginning of the year that it had a suggested deadline of making a vaccine in hands by October, The New York Times reported.
