WHO: advances in global fight against coronavirus are under threat

“In five of the six WHO regions, COVID-19 infection has increased by 80% over the past four weeks, or almost doubled.

In Africa, the death rate has increased by 80%, "- quoted by TASS.

As the head of WHO noted, the increase in the incidence of illness and death has been facilitated by increased mobility and contacts, as well as inappropriate use of health and social measures.

“What was hard to achieve is threatened or lost, and health systems in many countries are overwhelmed,” he concluded.

Earlier, Vitaly Zverev, a microbiologist, scientific director of the Mechnikov Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in an interview with URA.RU, emphasized the importance of achieving population immunity from coronavirus in the world.
