The entity, therefore, warned that it would be “premature to give up the pandemic is over and recalled that “contagion remains high in many countries and that vaccination at the global level has not reached the minimum required.”
“It’s too early to claim victory. There are still many countries with low vaccine coverage and high transmission,” WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
Adhanom, however, considered “encouraging” the reduction in contagion globally, and that some countries are lifting restrictions, but recalled that “the threat of a new variant is still real and that the only way to end the pandemic is through vaccination.”
“Although omicron is less severe, the number of hospitalized and dead is higher than that of delta, due to its greater volume, due to the accumulated health burden and because the levels of vaccination coverage are insufficient,” said the head of the Department of Emerging Diseases, Maria Van Kerkhove.
