The World Health Organization (WHO) advises the return to wearing masks and social distancing to prevent infection with COVID-19. To be careful on Friday, January 5, urged Twitter (X) WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
“Respiratory illnesses caused by COVID-19, influenza and other pathogens have been on the rise in many countries for several weeks and are expected to continue after the recent holidays,” it said.
