The head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom, has said that the combination of corona virus strains Delta and Omi Kroon is causing a ‘tsunami of corona cases’.
Tedros Adhanom’s statement came at a time when the number of new epidemics in European countries and the United States is increasing.
Of the British news agency ‘Reuters’According to the WHO chief, in a news briefing, “Delta and Omi Cron are now doubling the risks, increasing the total number of victims, which will increase the number of hospitalized patients and deaths.”
“I am deeply concerned that Omi Kroon, like the Delta, is at the same time highly contagious and rapidly spreading, causing a tsunami of cases,” he said.
Tedros Adhanom said a large-scale booster campaign by rich countries could “further prolong the duration of the global epidemic” as it would reduce medical supplies for poorer and less vaccinated countries, leading to the spread of the virus. And there will be an opportunity to create more types.
He called on the people to join the New Year’s campaign, which aims to have 70% of the world’s population vaccinated by mid-2022.
According to the WHO, about 100 countries have so far vaccinated 40% of their populationHas not achieved its target.
On the other hand, Dr. Anthony Faucci, an epidemiologist in the United States, told CNN that the number of Omega-Crown victims in the United States will increase by the end of January, depending on the size of the population and the rate of vaccines.
It should be noted that an average of 900,000 daily cases of corona are being reported worldwide at present.
It should be noted that December 31 marks the 2nd anniversary of the incident when the WHO was informed of 27 cases of ‘viral pneumonia’ from an unknown location in Wuhan, China. Has seen the epidemic and is still trying to deal with it.
