As when many nations are reporting slow down of the virus spread, the global health agency World Health Organisation (WHO) had dropped a truth bomb on the virus spread. The comments coming from the WHO had raised several concerns and fears.
Serving Director-General of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during the press briefing that, Covid spread will not leave soon and would last for at least a few decades.
According to the WHO chief, the Covid impact and the longevity of the virus go hand in hand and the longer the virus stays, the more the impact would last. He warned that the vulnerable groups should be more careful as they might get impacted by this.
Giving a clear picture of the virus spread, the WHO Chief gave the details of how a few countries are yet to vaccinate the people in their respective nations. The gap between the nations in terms of vaccination is a serious issue and this should be addressed at the earliest, he said.
"African countries of the Commonwealth have achieved an average vaccination rate of just 23 per cent. Bridging this gap is an urgent priority for WHO, not only for bringing the pandemic under control and saving lives, but also for protecting livelihoods, and supporting sustainable recovery," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during the press briefing.
The concerning information from the global health agency is coming when the ongoing Covid virus is changing its form at regular intervals, making the fight against the pandemic a tough task.
After Delta and Delta plus variants of the pandemic, the Omicron variant of the pandemic was detected by the researchers and teachers. This variant has been dominating many nations and the experts' dub the Omicron variant as the driving force of the virus spread at the current moment.
Though the casualties and hospitalisations triggered by the Covid virus are less with the Omicron variant, the variant is making more and more people contact the virus across the nations. As a result, the number of people infected with contagious respiratory disease has been increasing with each passing day.
