Coronavirus will keep coming back: Scientists

As the world battles to find solution to the deadly virus, scientists fear a second wave of corona virus

China and other countries could be hit by a second wave of coronavirus in November

One of China's top medical experts has warned about the reoccurrence of the pandemic in China

China has just limped back to normalcy after a three-month-long grim battle against the pandemic.

Zhang Wenhong, who heads the Covid-19 clinical expert team in Shanghai warns countries of recurring outbreaks.

The scientist has predicted that the deadly pandemic may continue in many countries till autumn

He has warned of a second wave of infections in the coming winter

Speaking during an online livestream broadcast, Zhang said any resurgence later this year will be manageable

The reoccurrence might not require a repeat of the dramatic measures taken to curb the virus's initial spread.

Zhang's comments come as Chinese officials gradually eased quarantine restrictions to revive the economy.

As of Wednesday, the total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in China reached 82,341.

Altogether 3,342 people have died of the disease, according to the National Health Commission of China.

Wuhan, China continued to report new cases mostly from Chinese nationals returning from abroad.

“China won't implement any shutdowns, and imported cases will certainly still make up the bulk of the outbreak,” said Zhang

“For a long time, epidemic prevention and control will go through periods of relaxation and tightening.

It will be possible to live and work normally, but it probably won't be possible to completely eradicate the outbreaks,” he said.

That means countries must continue to fight the pandemic together even after their initial domestic outbreaks have peaked

He also predicts that only when all nations have properly controlled the disease the world be able to live well again

Aggressive testing, contact tracing and  hospitalisation of confirmed cases, is the secret to effective epidemic control, Zhang said.

Predicting that the US will bring its outbreak under control by May, he also called for the two countries to cooperate.
