WHO declares COVID still global crisis, pandemic at transition point READ MORE:
The United Nations health agency’s emergency committee on COVID-19 met last Friday for the 14th time since the start of the crisis.
WHO’s Tedros, it said, “acknowledges the committee’s views that the COVID-19 pandemic is probably at a transition point and appreciates the advice of the committee to navigate this transition carefully and mitigate the potential negative consequences.” In mid-January, almost 40,000 COVID weekly deaths were reported—more than half of them in China—while the true toll “is certainly much higher”, he said.
“All countries remain dangerously unprepared for future outbreaks,” the Red Cross said, concluding that governments were no more ready now than in 2019. The IFRC issued two reports making recommendations on mitigating future tragedies on the scale of COVID-19, on the third anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring the virus an international public health emergency.
The IFRC said if people trusted safety messages, they would be willing to comply with public health measures and accept vaccination.
