‘$100 billion will be needed’: Huge gap in vaccine funds to fight coronavirus, WHO says
More than 19.92 million people have been reported to be infected by the coronavirus globally and 729,883 have died, according to a Reuters tally.
Infections have been reported in more than 210 countries and territories since the first cases were identified in China in December 2019.
“For the vaccines alone, over $100 billion will be needed,” Tedros told a briefing in Geneva.
