    WHO's BIG warning: "2 Omicron sub-variants are triggering the increase in Covid-19 infections across 110 countries"

    The head of the WHO also expressed concern over the slow rate of immunisation in lower-income nations, which increases the vulnerability of the at-risk population in those areas to future virus epidemics.

    Digital Desk: The president
    of the World Health Organization said that although the Covid-19 pandemic is
    evolving, it is still ongoing since cases are increasing in 110 countries and
    are mostly being caused by two quickly proliferating Omicron sub-variants. This
    week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the rapidly
    proliferating Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5 are thought to be responsible
    for half of the coronavirus infections in the country.



    As of June 25, BA.5
    accounted for 36.6% of all coronavirus cases in the US, BA.4 for 15.7%, and
    together they accounted for around 52% of all new cases.



    "According to WHO
    Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, "COVID-19, driven by BA.4 and
    BA.5 in many places, cases are on the rise in 110 countries, causing overall
    global cases to increase by 20% and deaths have increased in three of the six
    WHO regions even though the global figure remains relatively stable.



    The "pandemic is
    changing but it's not over," he claimed. Despite our success, the battle
    is far from done. The ability to detect the virus is "under threat,"
    according to Ghebreyesus "It is becoming more difficult to follow Omicron
    and analyse any future emerging variations since reporting and genomic
    sequences are diminishing.



    The head of the WHO also
    expressed concern over the slow rate of immunisation in lower-income nations,
    which increases the vulnerability of the at-risk population in those areas to
    future virus epidemics.



    "We're close to the
    halfway point of the year, which is the point at which WHO had called on all
    countries to vaccinate at least 70% of their population," he said, adding that
    in the previous 18 months, more than 12 billion vaccines had been distributed
    worldwide and that 75% of the world's health workers and people over 60 were
    now immunised.



    The Lancet believes that
    vaccinations have prevented 20 million deaths. On the other hand, he added,
    "hundreds of millions of individuals, including tens of millions of health
    care professionals and elderly individuals in lower-income nations, remain
    unvaccinated, making them more susceptible to future waves of the virus."



    While the hoarding of
    vaccines by wealthy and vaccine-producing nations was the main obstacle to
    access last year, Ghebreyesus claimed that in 2022, misinformation difficulties
    and an increase in political commitment to vaccine distribution will be
    obstacles at the national level. “With only 58 countries hitting the 70 percent
    target, some have said it's not possible for low-income countries to make it,”
    he said. The WHO Chief used Rwanda as an example, where second dose
    immunisation rates are currently at or over 65% and are steadily climbing.



    He added that the average
    rate in low-income countries is 13%, adding that nations like Nepal and
    Cambodia "have demonstrated it's doable." However, he added,
    "high vaccination rates are completely doable provided there is enough
    political will domestically, backing to enable rollouts to communities, and
    disinformation is dealt.



    Ghebreyesus emphasised the
    need to continue immunising the most vulnerable groups in order to avert deaths
    and serious illnesses in the future. He advised that all at-risk populations in
    all nations should receive vaccinations and booster shots as soon as feasible.



    Ghebreyesus emphasised the
    importance of funding for second-generation vaccinations, testing, and
    therapies in the area of research and development. "While it makes sense
    to adapt vaccinations to the changing viral types, I worry that the rate of
    evolution means the world is still playing catch-up. "Creating
    second-generation vaccines that stop, or at least lessen infection would be a big
    step forward, building on existing vaccines that restrict the severity and
    avoid death," he said.



    The creation of a
    "pan-coronavirus" would be the optimum solution, he claimed
    "vaccine that protects against all current and potential future
    variations. "This is doable since there has been a lot of research into
    this virus and understanding immunology in general, and WHO continues to bring
    scientists and researchers together, “he added.
