Although China has been more successful with stopping the spread of COVID-19, the World Health Organization said it's coming at a cost.
As China continues its coronavirus-related lockdowns, the head of the World Health Organization said the Chinese policy is “not sustainable.”
“As we all know the virus is evolving, changing its behaviors, becoming more transmissible and with that changing behavior, changing your measures will be very important,” he said. “When we talk about the zero COVID strategy, we don’t think that it is sustainable considering the behavior of the virus now and what we anticipate in the future, and especially when we have now a good knowledge, understanding of the virus.
“But all of those actions, as we’ve said since the beginning, should show due respect to individual and human rights,” Ryan said. “We always have said, as WHO, that we need to balance the control measures against the impact they have on society the impact they have on the economy and that’s not always an easy calibration to make.”
