WHO to travellers - keep an eye on 'anywhere and everywhere' Covid-19

CORONAVIRUS | The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday urged travellers to wear masks on planes and keep themselves informed as Covid-19 cases surge again in some countries, prompting new restrictions in places like Australia.

Spokesperson Margaret Harris urged people not to be caught off-guard by resurgent local epidemics and quarantine measures, saying: "If it's anywhere, it's everywhere and people travelling have to understand that."
