The world now has “perfect conditions” for a more contagious and dangerous variant of the coronavirus to emerge. This was announced by the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at the Munich Security Conference, TASS reports.
Widespread vaccination coverage in some countries and the fact that the omicron strain of coronavirus causes a generally less severe course of the disease have led to a “dangerous narrative that the pandemic is over.” But this is not the case, the WHO Director-General noted, recalling that about 70 thousand people die from covid in the world every week, that health systems are overloaded, and monitoring the evolution of the virus is insufficient.
However, according to Ghebreyesus, the global community now has the “tools and know-how” to end the covid pandemic in 2022 as a “global emergency”. “Ending this pandemic must be our focus,” the WHO chief said, calling for “learning the lessons it teaches.”
