The number of cases of infection with a new coronavirus in the world decreases the sixth week in a row, and mortality – the fifth week in a row, the General Director of the World Health Organization Tedros Adan Gebresus said on Monday, reports TASS.
According to the general director, we are talking about “inspiring signals in the Pandemic trajectory in the global plan”, but the picture in various regions of the world is ambiguous. In particular, over the past week, the number of deaths has grown in three regions of WHO from six. This situation, the head of WHO described as a “pandemic of two speeds”: Some countries with a high level of vaccination begin to weaken sanitary restrictions, while other states are still faced with an extremely dangerous situation. “
Gebresus warned that in the conditions of the increased distribution of the world of new dangerous strains of coronavirus, including the “Delta” version (Indian strain), an overly rapid removal of sanitary restrictions may have catastrophic consequences. “In the context of the increased global transmission of options [Coronavirus], causing concern, including the” Delta “version, too rapid restrictions can have catastrophic consequences for those who are not yet vaccinated,” he said.
