Sources: https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/who-number-of-coronavirus-cases-may-be-much-higher-than-reported/5609913.html Summary: A World Health Organization (WHO) official says its “best estimates” show that the new coronavirus may have infected about one in 10 people worldwide. Michael Ryan is a doctor and the head of emergencies at the United Nations’ health agency. He was speaking on Monday at a special meeting of the agency’s executive board dealing with COVID-19. The group’s 34 member countries provide much of the money used to pay for WHO operations. Dr. Ryan told the meeting the infection rates vary from cities to rural areas, and between different groups. And he said the new estimate means “the vast majority of the world remains at risk.” “Our current best estimates tell us that about 10 percent of the global population may have been infected by this virus,” he said. Ryan added that the worldwide spread of COVID-19 would continue to develop. He said that tools exist to suppress the spread of the virus and added, “…many more lives can be protected.” Also attending the meeting was WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. He led a moment of silence to honor victims of COVID-19. He also expressed his support for the health workers who have worked to save lives. Ryan noted that Southeast Asia faced a rise in coronavirus cases. He also said that Europe and the eastern Mediterranean area are seeing an increase in deaths. The situations in Africa and the Western Pacific were “rather more positive,” he added. The new WHO estimate would mean that more than 760 million people have already been infected, based on the current world population.

The families of the other sub-block of Camp-8W are getting per head 13-14 KG rice, oils, garlic, onions and others that is why they did not suffer as well but the families that are still getting with WFP provided tokens are getting only rice, lentils and oils which are not enough for them that is why they are suffering very much and just surviving in this lockdown of COVID-19 where they have no chance to earn for their family Maintenance said Neyamot.
