The World Health Organisation claims the coronavirus pandemic is beginning to 'stabilise'.
The group will today publish new guidelines to help countries decide when to lift restrictions.
There are now more than 1.9 million cases of Covid-19 in the world, and nearly 120,000 deaths.
However Dr Mike Ryan, head of the WHO's emergencies programme, says the rate of growth is dropping.
"We look at the number of confirmed cases and we look at the number of hospitalisations as the first indicator the things might be stabilising.
"We're certainly seeing that, but by no means does that mean it's over.
"Now is the time for vigilance, now is the time to double down.
"That does not mean that countries cannot begin to create an exit strategy."
