Nearly 1.5 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 92,000 deaths have been reported to the Geneva-based agency, Tedros said. Tedros said he was particularly concerned by the large number of infections reported among health workers. "In some countries reports of up to 10 percent of health workers being infected, this is an alarming trend," he said. Across the board you see a lack of preparedness of the public health system," Tedros said. No country can claim it has a strong health system.
