WASHINGTON (AN) — U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres called for a global cease-fire on Monday to help vanquish the COVID-19 pandemic, imploring warring parties to disarm and fight the virus as a "common enemy."
The urgency of the U.N. chief's appeal was underscored by the surging numbers in confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide, which rose to more than 378,000 accompanied by over 16,o00 deaths, according to two separate Johns Hopkins University and Google data trackers.
