Terror groups may gain access to virulent strains of the novel coronavirus and use it to launch a bio-terror attack, UN Secretar-General Antonio Guterres has warned.
After a closed-door discussion at the UN Security Council on Thursday, Guterres in a brief press statement said: “While the COVID-19 pandemic is first and foremost a health crisis, its implications are much more far-reaching. The pandemic also poses a significant threat to the maintenance of international peace and security — potentially leading to an increase in social unrest and violence that would greatly undermine our ability to fight the disease.”
