WHO, premature to declare victory at Covid

“It is premature for any country to declare victory” at Covid. This was stated by WHO CEO Tedros Adhanom in the usual briefing from Geneva. WHO also notes that since Omicron was identified “about 10 weeks ago, about 90 million cases have been recorded, more than in 2020. And now we are starting to see a worrying increase in deaths in a large proportion. of the regions of the world “.
“This virus is dangerous and continues to evolve,” and WHO “is currently tracking four sub-variants of Omicron, including Ba.2,” he added. And “as this virus evolves, vaccines may need to evolve”, because “variants may continue to escape vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies against previous variants.” At the same time, the WHO has called for caution in easing restrictions.
