The World Health Oroganisation’a (WHO) figures for Saturday showed that 660,905 coronavirus cases were reported to the UN health agency, setting a new high water mark. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the WHO said that a vaccine would not by itself stop the coronavirus pandemic.

The Corona pandemic is raging months after it broke out, with infections rising past 54 Mln and claiming more than 1.3 Mln lives. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed, "A vaccine will complement the other tools we have, not replace them," director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, A vaccine on its own will not end the pandemic."

That number, and the 645,410 registered on Friday, surpassed the previous daily record high of 614,013 recorded on November 7. Tedros warned, "That will still leave the virus with a lot of room to move. Surveillance will need to continue, people will still need to be tested, isolated and cared for, contacts will still need to be traced... and individuals will still need to be cared for."
