Maria Van Kerkhove, COVID-19 technical lead at the World Health Organization, implored countries to implement sufficient contact tracing to break the chain of transmission.
As the new coronavirus outbreak continues to infect people across the globe, Maria Van Kerkhove, the COVID-19 technical lead at the World Health Organization, reminded people that containment measures can make a big difference.
"This is the first pandemic in history that we can control by doing these measures: find, isolate, test, treat," Kerkhove said during a briefing on Friday. Although not easy, contact tracing can help reduce the reproduction number–the amount of other people a single person will infect–to less than one, meaning the virus will"die out," Kerkhove said.
