The World Health Organization called Japan successful

The World Health Organization (WHO) has described Japan’s efforts as “successful and exemplary”, a day after it lifted a state of emergency that has been in effect for nearly seven weeks in dealing with coronavirus infections.

In Japan, the state of emergency has been lifted. At a news conference in Geneva on Monday, the WHO’s director-general, Tedros Adhanom Gebreasus, praised Japan’s efforts to reduce the number of new infections and deaths by assessing the situation in Japan. But at the same time, he emphasized the need to maintain social distance as well as other basic precautionary measures.

At the same press conference, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the World Health Organization (WHO) would temporarily suspend the experimental application of Hydroxychloroquine to coronavirus patients, which is declared as a potentially effective weapon in the fight against coronavirus by The US President Donald Trump.

Citing a research article published in the medical journal The Lancet, the agency said the coronavirus had a higher mortality rate among those who had been given the injection than those who had not.

President Trump has previously proudly claimed that he was using Hydroxychloroquine to keep the virus at bay. However, in a television interview last week, he mentioned that he would no longer use the drug.
