GENEVA: World Health Organization (WHO) says younger people are increasingly driving coronavirus pandemic.

During a virtual briefing, WHO's Regional Director for the Western Pacific Takeshi Kasai said many people those in their 20s, 30s and 40s are unaware they has the disease.

He said this increases the risk of spillovers to the more vulnerable, the elderly, the sick people in long-term care, people who live in densely populated areas and underserved areas.
