The World Health Organisation has expressed worry over the rising number of coronavirus deaths in many countries.
“Almost exactly three years on from declaring a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, our highest level of alert, this week the Emergency Committee on COVID-19 will meet to discuss whether the current situation still constitutes a global emergency.
“While I will not pre-empt the advice of the Emergency Committee, I remain very concerned by the situation in many countries and the rising number of deaths.” The WHO boss noted that too few people, especially older people and health workers were adequately vaccinated. “And there’s a torrent of pseudo-science and misinformation circulating, which is undermining trust in safe and effective tools for COVID-19,” Ghebreyesus said.All rights reserved.
