WHO 2023 emphasis making a Corona statement

Ghebreyesus, who met at the WHO headquarters with reporters from the Accredited Association of Members of the Press (ACANU) at the United Nations Office at Geneva, answered questions about the future situation of Covid-19.

Ghebreyesus pointed out that a year ago, when the Omicron variant of Covid-19 showed its effect, there were about 50,000 deaths a week, saying: “About 10,000 people died from Covid-19 in the last week. It’s still a big number, but at least we’ve come this far.” he performed the assessment of it.

Noting that WHO member countries have a lot to do to save more lives against Covid-19, Ghebreyesus said: “We hope to be able to say next year that Covid-19 is no longer a global emergency.” he said.

Stating that the virus will not go away completely, Ghebreyesus said: “The important thing is how we control the virus. All countries must learn to combat Covid-19, as well as the flu and respiratory syncytial virus that continue to circulate in many countries around the world.” he used the phrases.

Noting that the vaccine, which is the most effective tool in the fight against covid-19, still cannot reach sufficient numbers in low-income countries, Ghebreyesus said: “In low-income countries, 1 in every 5 people could be vaccinated. Access to diagnostic and treatment tools for COVID-19 is unacceptably expensive and unfair.” he said. (AA)
