The World Health Organization has urged countries to use extreme caution when reopening their economies from Covid-19 restrictions. Dr Michael Ryan, the director of the WHO health emergencies programme, said: ‘The idea that everyone is protected and it’s Kumbaya and everything goes back to normal, I think right now is a very dangerous assumption.’ Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus added the pandemic was not over and that the 4 million reported deaths milestone has just been passed. 
Their comments come as Boris Johnson set out plans to end social and economic coronavirus restrictions in England on 19 July
