Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres has said the Coronavirus pandemic has been the world’s biggest challenge since World War Two.

He observed that the outbreak can bring about a recession as far as development and progress are concerned in the world in a way that no event in the past has ever done.

Mr. Guterres said this at the launch of a UN report on the potential socioeconomic impact of the outbreak.

“The new coronavirus disease is attacking societies at their core, claiming lives and people’s livelihoods. Covid-19 is the greatest test that we have faced together since the formation of the United Nations,” he said.

He noted that there is a need for “An immediate co-ordinated health response to suppress transmission and end the pandemic.”

The number of confirmed cases around the world is now nearing 860,000, with more than 42,000 deaths.

The death toll in the US is now more than 3,800 – higher than that in China, where the outbreak began late last year. More than 188,000 people in America have been infected, according to the data compiled by Johns Hopkins university.

Meanwhile, the UN estimates that up to 25 million jobs could be lost around the world as a result of the outbreak. It also projects an up to 40% “downward pressure” on global foreign direct investment flows.
