'No excuse' for countries that fail in contact tracing, WHO's Tedros says

CORONAVIRUS | Tracing contacts of people with coronavirus infections is the most important step in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, and countries that are failing to do so have no excuse, the World Health Organization chief said on Monday.

“Although many countries have made some progress, globally the pandemic is actually speeding up,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a briefing.
