Following the aggravating cases of the COVID-19 infection, the World Health Organization has divulged that the pandemic is far from over.

Director-General of the UN health body, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned Tuesday, January 18, that individuals shouldn’t opt for the narrative that the Omicron variant is risk-free.

Omicron is a lot more infectious than previous stress but appears to cause less serious illness in patients.That has actually triggered a debate on the infection passing from being a pandemic to ending up being endemic- with the implication that the danger will have passed The WHO boss states the substantial numbers of individuals contaminated means lots of susceptible people will still fall ill and dye.’This pandemic is no place near over,’Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus informed press reporters from WHO’s head office in Geneva.’Omicron might be less serious, typically, but the narrative that it is a mild disease is misleading, ‘Tedros said.”Make no mistake, Omicron is triggering deaths and hospitalisations, and even the less extreme cases are flooding health centers.’ He said there were signs that the Omicron-fuelled surge of Covid cases may have peaked in some countries.This, he said,’

gives hope that the worst of this latest wave is made with, however no country is out of the woods yet.” Now is not the time to give up and wave the white flag, ‘he said.’We can still substantially minimize the impact of the existing wave by using and sharing health tools efficiently,
and executing public health and social procedures thatwe know work.” Vaccines might be less reliable at preventing infection and transmission of Omicron than they were for previous variants, but they still are remarkably good at preventing severe illness and death,

‘he said.’ With the incredible development of Omicron globally, new versions are most likely to emerge,’Tedros warned. ToriNG
