Raka alerts: Coronavirus variation can reach Kosovo

The largest inoculation of the population with both doses of the vaccine would reduce or prevent the spread of a possible new wave of choreography in Kosovo, says Lul Raka, microbiologist at the Kosovo National Institute of Public Health.

He says an increase in the overall number of cases with COVID-19 is expected, but according to him, this will not be essential as other times, since the most endangered category, such as the elderly and chronically ill, has already received vaccines.

The spread of a new wave depends on the overall global situation, on the continent (Europe) and now on the region. In Kosovo, there is no variant Delta that spreads faster than the original option. But that does not mean that it will not reach a near future. From what we've seen in Great Britain, we've had growth, and this has been mainly in the young age and in those who haven't been vaccinated or done all of the vaccination with two doses of”, he says.

Raka adds that by the moment populations with both doses are vaccinated, the contact of persons with the world's virus decreases to a minimum.
“Full value is one of the priorities that must be used to maximum”, he said.

In many parts of the world, serious concerns have been raised about a new wave of infection because of the spread of the Coronanvirus Delta variant, which is believed to be more transmitted than other variants.

But the World Health Organization has said that vaccines generally remain very effective as well.

Transmission of this option presents a problem in countries with lower rates of the vaccinated population.
