COVID-19 could become another endemic virus
The World Health Organization believes that the coronavirus will never go away. RBC-Ukraine reports this with reference to Reuters.
According to Mike Ryan, head of the WHO’s emergency health programs, this virus could become another endemic virus.
“It is important to openly declare: This virus can become another endemic virus (constantly present among people),” he said.
He also emphasized that at the same time, the world can control the spread of the virus with vaccines.
“It is important to stay realistic. I don’t think anyone can predict when this disease will go away,” added Ryan.
Remember that the coronavirus pandemic threatens recent improvements in health and progress towards the global goals outlined in the 2020 strategy. According to published WHO statistics for 2020, there is a positive trend in the world of health worldwide. .
As reported by RBC-Ukraine, the Americas is now the epicenter of a pandemic worldwide. However, the number of patients is increasing in Africa: the coronavirus was registered in all African countries. In less than a week, the number of patients increased by 16,000 people.
Previously, the WHO stated that active testing, contact tracking, quarantine and social distance will help defeat the coronavirus.
