The more control countries have over the virus, the more they can open up. Opening up without having control is a recipe for disaster, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a virtual news briefing. He warned that the emergency use of a vaccine should be done with great caution as it could have adverse side effects in some parts of the population.
