The Corona virus epidemic continues to increase its impact around the world. Speaking at a press conference at the headquarters of the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared that the world is at a critical point in the epidemic of the virus of the crown and called for ‘urgent action’ to the country’s leaders.
“INCREASED BY FOLDING IN MANY COUNTRIES”
Director General Ghebreyesus said that the coming months will be very difficult and that some countries are on a ‘dangerous path’, saying: “We are at a critical point in the pandemic, especially in the Northern Hemisphere.”
Ghebreyesus said: “In too many countries, it appears that cases are increasing exponentially. “This situation causes hospitals and intensive care units to work near or above capacity.”
The Director General warned the country’s leaders to take immediate action to prevent further casualties, the collapse of primary health care services and the closure of schools.
“EARLY WORKS WILL BEGIN IN WUHAN”
Maria Van Kerkhove, technical leader of the WHO Health Emergencies Program, said progress has been made in international studies conducted to determine the zoonotic source (diseases transmitted from animals to humans) of the crown.
Kerkhove announced that WHO has contacted a group of international experts and is expected to share more information in the coming days.
Kerkhove stated, “The first cases were detected in Wuhan, China, last December, so the first studies will begin here,” and stated that the next stage will be developed in light of the evidence and results obtained in the first stage. .
The WHO recently stated that although Wuhan was the first area where COVID-19 cases were reported, it does not mean that it was the place where the virus passed from animals to humans.
On the other hand, the total number of cases worldwide reached 42 million 368 thousand 690, and the total loss of life reached 1 million 147 thousand 175. İHA
