It has been announced that more than 90% of the world’s population is immune to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).<\/p>\n
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said at a press conference on the 2nd (local time), “WHO believes that at least 90% of the world’s population will be infected with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV, thanks to vaccination or experience of infection. -2) is presumed to have a certain level of immunity,” he said.<\/p>\n
Secretary-General Tedros urged the government not to let down its guard against the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is true that we are getting closer to the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency, but not yet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Tedros pointed to gaps in the mechanisms to support public health by containing the spread of COVID-19 as a major concern.<\/p>\n
He pointed out that \u201cthe gap in COVID-19 surveillance, testing and vaccination is the perfect condition for the emergence of a new mutation that can lead to high mortality.\u201d<\/p>\n
In other words, if the epidemic continues in underdeveloped countries due to poor quarantine and health systems, highly contagious and fatal mutations can emerge and spread again around the world.<\/p>\n
President Tedros explained that there are currently more than 500 sub-mutations of Omicron, and that although these mutations may be less lethal, they are more contagious.
\nOmicron, which appeared a year ago in South Africa and became the dominant species worldwide, was immediately classified as a mutant of concern due to its explosive infectivity.
\nNew sub mutations of Omicron, such as BA.2 and BA.5, have been confirmed to evade the antibody produced by infection with BA.1, an early Omicron virus.
\nSecretary-General Tedros sounded the alarm again last week, saying more than 8,500 people were counted as having died from COVID-19.
\n\u201cIt is unacceptable that such deaths occur now, in the third year of the COVID-19 outbreak, and we have learned to some extent how to prevent infection and save lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
