On October 12, 2020, one of the World Health Organization's Special Envoys on the COVID-19 pandemic Dr. David Nabarro stated during a Spectator TV interview posted on YouTube: 'We really do appeal to all world leaders: stop using lockdown as your primary control method'.

'The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganize, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.'
