Director of the World Health Organization: "The world is tired of Corona, but Corona is not tired"

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that the number of deaths caused by the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19) has increased during the past four weeks by 34%, considering that it is “unacceptable that the world records about 15,000 deaths due to the virus per week.” Only the past, despite the precautionary measures required to stop the outbreak."

Ghebreyesus said in a press conference this evening: “The world is tired of Corona, but Corona is not tired yet and continues.”

He attributed the main reason that dominated during the last month globally to the Omicron strain, saying: "It is still difficult until now to understand how the virus changes."

He warned that with winter approaching in the northern hemisphere, there are risks of a massive outbreak of the virus.
