“We may be tired of COVID-19. But he is not tired of us,” said WHO Secretary General Tedros Adanom Gebreyesus, urging the international community to “not close their eyes” to the pandemic of the COVID-19. , even if the world is “tired” of the virus, reported AFP, cited by BTA.
In a speech at the organization’s annual general assembly, which takes place by video conference this week, Tedros, himself quarantined for contact with a person infected with COVID-19, called on the international community to rediscover the “sense of good common”.
“In this spirit, we congratulate President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris,” he said after congratulating the two on Twitter yesterday. “We look forward to working closely with your government,” added Tedros.
Biden wants to return the United States to the WHO and opposes the decision of Donald Trump, who has always downplayed the pandemic and refused to cooperate with the organization, accusing it of being a “puppet” of China, AFP notes.
“We may be tired of COVID-19. But he is not tired of us,” Tedros said, adding: “Yes, it attacks people with the most fragile health. But it also attacks other weaknesses: inequality, division, denial, desirable thinking and deliberate ignorance. “
“We cannot negotiate with COVID-19, nor close our eyes and hope that the virus will disappear,” added the WHO secretary general.
