Coronavirus has infected 10% of world population in 'best estimate', WHO expert warns

Dr Michael Ryan says 90 per cent of world may still be at risk

Around 10 per cent of the global population may have been infected with coronavirus, a World Health Organisation expert has said.

Dr Michael Ryan, the organisation’s head of emergencies, warned that 90 per cent of the world may still be at risk of catching Covid-19.

Speaking to a meeting of the WHO's 34-member executive board focusing on Covid-19 on Monday, Dr Ryan said the figures vary from urban to rural settings, and between different groups, but that ultimately it means "the vast majority of the world remains at risk."

He said the pandemic would continue to evolve, but that tools exist to suppress transmission and save lives.

“Our current best estimates tell us about 10 per cent of the global population may have been infected by this virus,” he said.

"It varies depending on country, it varies from urban to rural, it varies depending on groups. But what it does mean is that the vast majority of the world remains at risk."

"We are now heading into a difficult period. The disease continues to spread.

Not all of us have access to the same medical facilities or cutting edge drug supplys as a US president.
It would seem from the article above a major percentage of the worlds population would benefit greatly from knowing their CV-19 severity risk...
It's something I myself would like to know, piece of mind.
