Dr Anthony Fauci, the US coronavirus expert and White House adviser, has warned that the pandemic "isn't over yet".

Speaking during a conference on Tuesday, he described the crisis as his “worst nightmare”.

“In a period of four months, it has devastated the whole world,” he said. "That’s millions and millions of infections worldwide. And it’s condensed in a very, very small time frame.”

Fauci attributed the spread of the virus to the contagiousness of the virus and global travel by those infected.

However, he said he was confident a vaccine would be found.

According to data from Johns Hopkins University, there have been more than seven million confirmed cases around the world and more than 400,000 people have died.
