Director of the Center for Public Health and Reforms of the Ministry of Health Gahram Khagverdiev spoke about the situation in the world and, in particular, in Azerbaijan against the backdrop of an increase in the number of infections of coronavirus infection.
Talking about the general situation with the Covid-19 pandemia in the countries of the world, Khagverdiev noted that “thanks to the high level of population vaccination in Azerbaijan, a stable epidemiological situation is preserved, which is under the strict control of the relevant health authorities. On behalf of the Ministry of Health, the Center for Public Health and the Center for Public Health and the Center for Public Health and Reforms (TsOZR) closely monitors the COVID-19 situation in the world, including in our country, and analyzes the results of recent studies. Unfortunately, since mid-June of this year, the world has been fixed in the world of cases of infection with coronavirus, some virologists predict the next wave of pandemic . Over the past two weeks in the world, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of sick Covid-19. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the incidence of Covid is growing at least 110 countries of the world. “
to the question of what the growth of cases of infection of the COVID-19 is related to, the doctor answered this: “Eckerts substantiate this growth with new variants of the virus, which are distributed since June of this year and are more contagious than the previous ones. Omicron is now leading an epidemic for 7 290 million people were infected with him. He has a low mortality, somewhere around 0.35 percent (the number of deaths among patients with Omicron), and where vaccination is carried out actively, it is lower. According to epidemiologists, weakening or completely abolition of antidipandemic measures It contributes to the penetration of the more rapid spread of new strains. But there are good news: the number of complications and deaths is much lower than in the previous period, when strains such as alpha, beta, gamma and the most dangerous of all the delta prevailed. Naturally, the emergence of the emergence. the encouraging situation is closely related to the level of vaccination of the population. However, despite this, the increase in the number of cases of infection can lead to increased the mortality indicators, although not to the same extent as from the version of the “delta”. It is for this reason that the aircraft began to sound the alarm. “
