WHO warns of 'immediate second peak' in countries where coronavirus infections are declining.
GENEVA — Countries where coronavirus infections are declining could still face an"immediate second peak" if they let up too soon on measures to halt the outbreak, the World Health Organization said on Monday.
Ryan said epidemics often come in waves, which means that outbreaks could come back later this year in places where the first wave has subsided. There was also a chance that infection rates could rise again more quickly if measures to halt the first wave were lifted too soon. "But we need also to be cognizant of the fact that the disease can jump up at any time. We cannot make assumptions that just because the disease is on the way down now it is going to keep going down and we get a number of months to get ready for a second wave. We may get a second peak in this wave."
