ZURICH/LAUSANNE (Reuters) – The World Health Organization called on all countries on Monday to ramp up their testing programmes as the best way to slow the advance of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We have a simple message to all countries – test, test, test,” WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a press conference in Geneva.
Without testing, cases could not be isolated and the chain of infection would not be broken, he added.
