To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has already moved beyond a normal emergency. The number of confirmed infections has exceeded 50 million.
WHO Director Tedros Adanom Ghebreyesus said this at the World Health Assembly.
“We are committed to protecting people in a health emergency, but the COVID-19 pandemic has gone beyond a simple emergency,” Gebreyesus said.
He also added that the vaccine should be viewed as a public good, not as a commodity.
“The COVID19 pandemic has shown that healthier populations, universal health coverage and global health security are closely intertwined,” added the WHO chief.
We will remember, previously the WHO said that the world needs to start preparing for a new pandemic. At the same time, the organization did not specify what kind of massive disease is being discussed this time.
In addition, the WHO director for Europe, Hans Kluge, called the introduction of a nationwide quarantine to combat the coronavirus as a last resort. Such restrictions seriously damage the economy, people’s mental health, and increase the scale of domestic violence.
