WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Grabreyas has said that vaccination is very important to avoid the delta variant of Coronavirus.
symbolic picture.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said that the world is in a dangerous phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reason behind this is that the Delta variant is available in more than 100 countries. In a press briefing, Grubreys said that the delta variant, which first appeared in India, is still undergoing changes and mutations and has emerged as the most dangerous variant of COVID-19 in many countries.
The WHO chief suggested that the acute phase of the epidemic can be properly eliminated through vaccination. He said that I have already requested the leaders of the world to ensure that by this time next year, 70 percent of the people in every country are vaccinated. The WHO chief said, it is within the collective power of some countries to take steps and ensure that vaccines are distributed. He told that so far three billion vaccine doses have been shared.
Laying behind in vaccination of some countries is a danger to all
However, inequality in vaccination has emerged as a major concern around the world. If this is not taken care of, then it can become a big problem. So far, only two percent of the COVID vaccinations implemented worldwide have happened in poor countries. Rich countries like America, Britain, France and Canada have announced to share one billion vaccines. The WHO chief said that if some countries are left behind in vaccination, then it will be a threat to the whole world.
Vaccination essential for the global economy
The Director General said that 10 percent of the population of every country should be vaccinated by September. 40 percent of the population should be vaccinated by the end of this year and 70 percent by the middle of next year. Corona can be defeated only through this. He said that vaccine equality is not just a good thing. It is also necessary to control the epidemic and rebuild the global economy. He warned that until the epidemic is not eradicated everywhere, the epidemic will not end from the world.
Delta variant is spreading among people without getting vaccinated
Tedros Adhanom Grabreyas said that of all the variants of the corona that have been identified so far, Delta is the most contagious and is spreading rapidly among people who have not received the anti-Covid vaccine. He had said that some countries have relaxed public health and social restrictions, so there has been an increase in the cases of infection in the world. He had said that the steps taken in today’s time to fight the corona virus are also effective against other worrying forms of the virus including Delta.
