World Health Organization (WHO) officials have warned that the first wave of the coronavirus outbreak could include a second peak.
It warned countries – even those that had successfully suppressed the virus and are relaxing restrictions put in place to combat the disease it causes – to remain “on high alert”.

Dr Michael Ryan, WHO’s emergencies chief, told reporters in Geneva on Monday.

Trials for a new COVID-19 vaccine began on humans at Oxford University in the UK on Thursday.
Two volunteers took part part in the trials with one given the new vaccine and another given a ‘control’ which will not prevent the virus.
The global pandemic has sickened nearly 2,68 million people, killed more than 187,000 worldwide, crippled economies and forced restrictions on the movement of millions of people in an effort to stop the virus from spreading further and overwhelming health care systems.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, along with Dr. Deena Hinshaw, chief medical officer of health, and other provincial officials delivered an update on COVID-19 Wednesday and spoke about the ongoing work to protect public health.
Alberta confirmed five COVID-19-related fatalities, bringing the province’s total number of deaths from the virus to 66 as of April 22.
Kenney also said 70 Albertans are hospitalized with the virus, 18 of whom are in intensive care units.
Hinshaw reported that the province had identified its first COVID-19 case on a First Nation. She said Alberta Health Services is working with Sucker Creek First Nation to follow up on the case, and that the individual is currently self-isolating.
The responsibility for the COVID-19 crisis lies directly at the Chinese government’s feet, says Missouri’s Attorney General Eric Schmitt. #FoxNews #Tucker
