UN chief says G20 leaders must coordinate to fight COVID-19

The U.N. chief finds it “very frustrating” that leaders of the 20 major industrialized nations didn’t come together in March and establish a coordinated response to suppress the coronavirus in all countries as he proposed. Instead, they went their own ways as infections moved “every way, everywhere,” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said. With a Group of 20 summit coming next month, Guterres said in an interview with the Associated Press that he hopes the international community now understands “they need to be much more coordinated in fighting the virus.”
