The World Health Organization has warned that the emerging coronavirus will remain for a long time in humans, stressing the need to develop and share tools to defeat it.
"This virus will remain with us for a long time, and for this reason we must unite in order to develop and share tools to defeat it," WHO Director-General Tidros Adhnom Gebresos said at a virtual press conference on Monday.
Gebresos praised the outcome of the International Donors Conference, with the "global response to the Corona virus," during which Monday it announced the allocation of 7.4 billion yoyo to efforts to develop a vaccine and treat the disease, and stressed: "We will achieve victory thanks to national unity and global solidarity."
The Director of Global Health said that the biggest challenge in the framework of the issue of the emerging vaccine against coronavirus is to ensure its distribution throughout the world, considering that «the pivotal challenge is not the ways to develop the vaccine, but to find ways to distribute it and make treatment against the Corona infection available to everyone» .
He stated that the Geneva-based World Health Organization will publish later this week an updated strategic plan for pandemic preparedness and response, which will include information on financial needs to support the fight against the pandemic at the international level.
For his part, United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, stressed during the conference, the need to ensure that all treatment of the Coronavirus will be available to all those in need around the world.
Since January 2020, the world has been facing a deteriorating crisis caused by the outbreak of the emerging Corona virus "Covid 19", which has led to huge losses in many sectors of the economy, especially transport, tourism and entertainment, the collapse of global exchanges and the acceleration of the decline in energy markets.
On January 30, the World Health Organization classified the emergence of the emerging coronavirus virus infection on an international level, as declared on March 11 by a public pandemic. To date, more than 3.5 million cases of this strain have been recorded in nearly 180 countries, including 250,000. Death and 1.16 million recoveries
The announcement by the World Health Organization of the prolonged coronavirus has come at a time when several countries have begun to implement a step-by-step plan to ease stringent stone measures that have isolated half of humanity. The world leaders find themselves facing an unprecedented situation, which requires them to impose strict preventive measures that accompany the reopening of economic sectors at various levels during the coming weeks.
And an American study expected that the spread of the "Covid-19" epidemic will continue for a long period ranging between 18 months and two years, ruling out controlling it without developing two-thirds of the world's population as immunity to it.
The study, issued by the Center for Infectious Diseases Research at the University of Minnesota, also suggested that the virus continue to spread through several waves that may continue until 2022, and until "societies develop herd immunity."
A report published by the British newspaper "Financial Times" recently expected that the form of life in the period that will follow the end of the global closure caused by the Corvand-19 virus will be different from what it was before the pandemic, and the world should get used to it.
In light of the consequences of "Corona" and the fears that the virus left behind, there is no room for the return of behaviors such as shaking hands, hugs, and crowding in some governmental interests that deal with the masses, and wearing masks will become necessary in public transportation and commercial centers until the epidemic is contained.
