“We need each other, we need solidarity and we need to use all the energy we have to fight the virus,” Tedros said in closing remarks to the WHO’s Executive Board meeting that examined the global response to the pandemic.

“We will need vaccines and there is hope that by the end of this year we may have a vaccine. There is hope,” He added.
