WHO Secretary-General "Vaccine development for at least one to one and a half years" March 28 7:47
WHO = Secretary General of the World Health Organization, Tedross, has forecast that the development of a new coronavirus vaccine will take at least a year to a year and a half. He called for a remedy that was not proven to be effective against the virus.
WHO Secretary-General Tedros said at a regular press conference at its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on Wednesday that more than 500,000 people were infected and more than 20,000 were killed about the status of the new coronavirus infection worldwide. That's a tragic figure. "The total number of confirmed infections has exceeded 500,000 worldwide.
Tedros, meanwhile, said on vaccine development, "it will take at least a year to a year and a half."
He also urged refrain from treatments that were not proven effective against the new coronavirus.
The effective treatment for the new coronavirus has not been established so far, and it is mainly used for symptomatic treatment.It is used for the treatment of malaria and the antiviral drug `` remdecivir '' which is being developed as a treatment for Ebola hemorrhagic fever worldwide. Clinical trials using chloroquine are progressing, but in the United States, a man who took chloroquine died this month at his own discretion.
In addition, a number of cases of severe cases of young people as well as the elderly in various parts of the world are said, said Mr. Bankerkov, a chief technology officer, `` though young people often have mild symptoms, but reports that they have become severe and have died. Even if youths are mildly ill, they can infect weak people and become more severe and even life-threatening. " He called on each of us to act responsibly.
