Adhanom called in a press conference for more focus on testing and diagnosis, as it is the main and essential tool to control the outbreak of the virus and isolate it before it spread further.

He added that there are more than 50 examination and diagnostic tools, including diagnoses that an individual can make for himself at home, that have been developed in several countries and the organization is currently evaluating them, and countries can add them soon to national strategies to combat the epidemic.

Adhanom called on countries of the world to prepare and establish the infrastructure to vaccinate the population.

He explained that the organization signed a letter with the World Bank, UNICEF and regional offices to help countries prepare for the vaccination phase.

WHO vaccination officer, Dr. Catherine O'Brien, said that 92 countries will receive support to obtain Covid 19 vaccines through the Kovacs facility for the equitable distribution of products, through development aid.
