WHO: With Covid cases rising once again in Asia and Europe, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the virus is still ‘very strong’ and can be spread easily as the effectiveness of vaccines wanes. Due to this it is getting a good environment for new coronavirus variants.
UN News quoted WHO Executive Director (Health Emergency Programme) Dr. Mike Ryan, noting that the virus has not yet fully settled with the seasonal or anticipated pattern, saying, “We need to wait until next winter . When I see cases rising in the UK, I think we need to be very cautious and mindful of this.”
The possibility of the virus circulating in the world
The expert described the virus as ‘very strong’ and said, “It is easily circulating and the virus is likely to continue to circulate around the world, given the lack of immunity and the lack of precise work of vaccines against the infection. “

decreasing immunity
He said, “It will sometimes increase in some parts and go away and then increase again. After this, it will again go to such areas where the immunity is decreasing. The virus will go to vulnerable areas and we will remain in such areas for months till other areas open up.”
Experts have observed similar patterns with the polio virus. He said, “The virus works in a similar way. They establish themselves in one community and will quickly move to another vulnerable community.”
How can new variants emerge?
Echoing similar views, Maria Van Kerkhove said that new variants can easily emerge in this environment. He said, “We fully understand that the world needs to move forward and it wants to get out of COVID-19 (COVID19) but this virus is spreading well among people” and if we do not take the right steps So the virus will continue to spread. Thus, the more the virus spreads, the more likely it is to change.
