The source of the first COVID-19 infection should be sought in Wuhan, China. After that, it will be possible to start studying the emergence of the coronavirus in other places.
This was stated at an informative meeting in Geneva by the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adan Ghebreyesus.
“Regarding the study of the origin of the virus, one thing must be clear: this study will start in Wuhan in China, where the first message came from. Then, based on what is found, we can go to other places” – said Gebreyesus .
He also noted that the pandemic is spreading unevenly across the world, with 70% of COVID-19 cases occurring in just 10 countries. Testing plays an important role in fighting the pandemic, he said.
“Now we are sending these tests to different parts of the world,” Ghebreyesus said, adding that the program faces a funding shortfall of $ 500 million.
Recall, previously the WHO regional director for Africa, Machidiso Moeti, said that the countries of this continent are only a third prepared for the vaccination campaign against the coronavirus.
Before that, the WHO said the emergence of vaccines offers hope in the war against the virus.
