OBS chief optimistic in defeat of pandemic this year

Tedros Adhanom Ghebrreesou warned against the close “and collection of vaccines” in a new year's statement.

His comments come two years since the WTO was first announced on an unknown type of pneumonia in China

Global cases with David have now reached 287 million, while nearly 5.5 million people have died, the BBC writes.

Coronavirus remains a part of daily life - a disease that has closed borders, divided families, and made it unthinkable to leave the house without wearing a mask.

Despite all of this, Dr. Tedros gave a positive assessment in his speech, noting that there are far more tools now to deal with Coddy-19.

But he warned that continued inequality in the distribution of vaccines is increasing the risk of evolution of the virus.

The narrow nationalism and the collection of vaccines from some countries have undermined equality and created ideal conditions for showing the Omitron variant, and the longer inequality continues, the higher the dangers of the virus that evolves in ways that we cannot prevent or predict” he said.

“If we end inequality, we end pandemic,” he added.

The OBS has set a new target for 2022: vaccinating 70% of the population in all countries by July to end pandemic.
