The executive director of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Michael J Ryan, on Tuesday said that India has a tremendous capacity to deal with the coronavirus outbreak situation as it has experience of eradicating two pandemics, namely small-pox and polio.
“There is a need in the number of labs where a surge is seen. India is a very populous country and the future of this virus will be considered in a very highly and densely populated country. India led the world in eradicating two pandemics, small-pox and polio so India has a tremendous capacity,” J Ryan said during a daily press briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic.
“There are no easy answers. It is exceptionally important that countries like India show the way to the world as they have done before,” he added.
According to WHO, the number of cases worldwide has surpassed 3,30,000, while the number of deaths has exceeded 14,000.
