Al-Marsad newspaper: Director of the World Health Organization’s office for the Middle East, Dr. Hanan Balkhi, commented on whether the world is facing a virus more deadly than the Corona virus “COVID-19”.
Balkhi told Al-Ekhbariya channel: Approximately 60 or 70 percent of emerging diseases come from animal sources.
She continued: Over the entire period of humanity’s time, we see time after time the emergence of new bacteria and viruses from the animal sector or the environment. This is not unlikely, but we pray to God that it will not be more deadly and that we will be prepared for it.
Regarding the emergence of a virus more deadly than Corona, Balkhi said: Historically, it will happen, but when? God knows.
