As coronavirus hits hard at elderly people and those with pre-existing medical conditions, WHO warns young people are 'not invincible'
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide kicked off the weekend under a coronavirus lockdown as the global death toll accelerated sharply and the World Health Organization warned young people they were "not invincible".
While the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions are the hardest hit by the virus, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that young people were also vulnerable. But there are growing concerns of a new wave of "imported" infections in the region, with Hong Kong reporting 48 suspected cases on Friday – its biggest daily jump since the crisis began.Across Europe, governments continued to rigorously enforce lockdown measures as the continent's most celebrated boulevards and squares remained silent and empty even as warmer spring weather arrived.
Britain, falling in line with its neighbours in the European Union, also announced tougher restrictions, telling pubs, restaurants and theatres to close and promising to help cover the wages of affected workers.With virus fears gripping the US, its largest state California – with over 1,000 cases and 19 deaths – told its 40 million residents to stay at home.
Trump also announced Friday that the US and Mexico have agreed to restrict non-essential travel across their border beginning on Saturday.
