The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Ghebreyesus, called on countries to scale up testing for coronavirus infection and not forget genome sequencing. This will help track the extent of the spread of the virus and better understand its evolution.
Against the backdrop of a decrease in the incidence of covid and mortality, the World Health Organization urges countries not to stop active testing of the population, but to increase its scale. It is also extremely important to continue sequencing the SARS-CoV-2 genome so that scientists have a clear picture of the evolution of a dangerous pathogen. Vaccination and revaccination are a priority for people from risk groups. These include senior citizens, doctors, social workers, as well as all those who deal with people.
Smartphones are offered to be tested for covid
The WHO continues to take steps to provide the poorest countries with wide access to vaccines and treatments for coronavirus. At the same time, this organization has not certified a single Russian drug. Today, in some African states, the level of testing for covid does not exceed 5-10%, and we are not talking about revaccination, but in the first year. This means that the majority of the population has not been vaccinated.
Hong Kong will test its residents for coronavirus free of charge
If the virus spreads in such populations among the unvaccinated population, it has ample opportunity for subsequent evolution and mutation. Therefore, the next version of the coronavirus may become completely immune to the vaccines already available and hit humanity again. (READ MORE)
