On March 30, 1965, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes disease, Covid-19 More likely to have mutations Because the epidemic continues around the world. But it becomes less severe because of the immunity people get from vaccinations and from infections.
The WHO director gave three examples of possible scenarios for how the epidemic will progress this year. It warned that there could be a sporadic increase in the number of cases and deaths as immunity decreases. which may require vaccination against COVID-19 Dosages are periodically stimulated to at-risk populations.
The most optimistic situation is that there may be the virus. new mutant species less severe And there is no need for the COVID-19 vaccine, booster doses or new formulations. For the most dire situation may be caused by the virus More severe mutants and highly contagious. And this makes the prevention of serious diseases and deaths of people, whether from vaccinations or previous infections, will be reduced sharply.
The WHO director reiterated his recommendation for countries around the world to halt the deadly epidemic by 2022, with the first action being laboratory surveillance. and Public Health Intelligence No. 2 is vaccination. public health and social measures and community participation
No. 3 is clinical care for COVID-19. and a flexible health system, and the fourth is research and development. equal access to tools and equipment Finally, coordination is when the response shifts from an emergency model to long-term management of respiratory disease.
The WHO director stressed that equal vaccination remains the most effective way to save lives, however, as high-income countries begin vaccinating their people with the fourth dose. As many as one-third of the world’s population remains unvaccinated with the first dose. This includes 83 percent of the population in Africa.
The above point is unacceptable. He pledged to save lives by ensuring everyone had access to testing, treatment and vaccines.
