On Monday, the head of the World Health Organization that a vaccine, alone, would not stop the coronavirus pandemic.

“A vaccine will complement the other tools we have, not replace them. A vaccine on its own will not end the pandemic.” DG, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

The WHO’s figures for Saturday showed that 660,905 coronavirus cases were reported to the United Nations health agency, setting a new high water mark. That number, and the 645,410 registered on Friday, surpassed the previous daily record high of 614,013 recorded on November 7.

Ghebreyesus said that the vaccine would prioritized and restricted to “health workers, older people and other at-risk populations being prioritized. That will hopefully reduce the number of deaths and enable the health systems to cope.”

But he warned, “That will still leave the virus with a lot of room to move. Surveillance will need to continue, people will still need to be tested, isolated and cared for, contacts will still need to be traced and individuals will still need to be cared for.”
