The WHO assures that this year may be the end of the Covid-19 pandemic
The Director General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, asks all member countries to accelerate the distribution of the vaccine in the poorest countries.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus assured that it is feasible to end the intense period of the COVID-19 pandemic this year. This was stated by the director of the World Health Organization (WHO), despite the fact that COVID-19 causes one death every second, worldwide.
Ghebreyesus indicated that the intense period of the pandemic could end this year. In addition to ending the Coronavirus as a global welfare crisis, this being the highest level of alert, according to the Organization.
However, he cautioned against waiting for (the exceptionally infectious variation) omicron to be the last variation, as conditions are ample on the planet for different variations to emerge, even more contagious and destructive.
At the opening of the WHO executive committee, held weekly in Geneva, the expert commented that, in order to stop the intense period of the pandemic, nations must not remain calm and are obliged to fight against the disparity in inoculation, examine the infection and its variations and apply adjusted limitations.
Likewise, Adhanom Ghebreyesus has long encouraged member states to accelerate the spread of antibodies in poor nations, with the full intention of immunizing 70% of the population of all nations in the world by mid-2022.
A large part of the 194 member states of the WHO have not achieved the goal of reaching 40% of the population immunized before the end of the year 2021, according to the foundation. Meanwhile, the coronarivus continues to claim lives.
An individual died every 12 seconds last week from the disease. Every three seconds 100 new cases were recorded, according to studies carried out by the WHO.
In the month of November, cases increased due to the omicron variant. Since then, a total of 80 million new contaminations have been recorded.
However, until now, the explosion of cases has not been accompanied by an increase in infections, despite the fact that infections have increased in all areas, particularly in Africa, being the district with the least access to the necessary vaccines to stop the contagion.
To conclude, the expert said that it is true that we are going to live with the Coronavirus, but living with it should not mean that we have to let it continue on its way.
It should not imply that we have to acknowledge that 50,000 people are constantly dying from an infection that we can prevent and fix.
