The number of global coronavirus cases is on the rise for four weeks in a row after six weeks of decline in January and February, which is worrying, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has said.
Meanwhile, he told a news briefing in Geneva, the UN agency's headquarters, that deaths are falling, though at a slower rate.
"These are worrying trends as we continue to see the impact of variants, opening up of societies, and inequitable vaccine rollout", the WHO chief added.T More than 21.4 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were recorded as of Friday, including some 2.6 million deaths.
