Global Health: Lax measures to prevent Corona threatens a rapid return to the epidemic

Geneva - Sana

The World Health Organization has warned that laxity in taking the necessary measures to protect against Covid 19, such as adhering to physical distancing, coughing etiquette and contact quarantine, will cause the disease to return quickly and threaten hospitals and health systems.

During the regular press conference from Geneva, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said, according to the United Nations News Center, that the disease will remain with us in the long term, but there is hope that the cases can be kept low if we make smart choices together.

Tedros said: “The most important thing that can be done to protect lives is to maintain spatial distancing, wear masks, clean hands, cough etiquette, cover the mouth with the arm, avoid crowding, meet people outdoors if possible, open windows, and ensure good ventilation with non-recycled air when having to be indoors with others. “.

Tedros called: "For all governments to focus on basic measures that help break the chains of transmission and save lives and livelihoods."

According to the United Nations, 184 countries and economies have joined the Kovacs facility, which represents the largest portfolio of potential Covid 19 vaccines and the most effective way to equitably share safe and effective vaccines around the world.

With the entry of winter in the northern hemisphere, the incidence of Covid 19 disease accelerates, especially in Europe and North America.

According to the World Health Organization, half of the countries in the European region saw a 50 percent increase in cases over the weekend.
