WHO warns COVID-19 is ‘one big wave’ and NOT seasonal, as countries around the world experience second waves of coronavirus

Dr Margaret Harris, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization (WHO), said today there is no evidence that COVID-19 will follow seasonal variations like other coronaviruses. Instead she warns that COVID-19 is ‘one big wave. The revelation comes as countries around the world say they are experiencing second waves.

“The season does not seem to be affecting the transmission of this virus currently,” she said. Citing the US and Brazil’s high infection rates despite being in warm weather, Dr. Harris says the spread of Covid-19 is not linked to the seasons.
