WHO confirms 80m global cases of Omicron reported to them since it emerged
24 January 2022
Here is a little bit of the messaging coming out from the World Health Organization (WHO) this morning. There’s an event in Geneva where Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has been talking, APA reports citing The Guardian.
He has it would be dangerous to assume that the highly transmissible Omicron was the last variant to emerge and that the world was in the ‘end game’ of the pandemic.
However, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it was possible this year to exit the acute phase of the pandemic where Covid constitutes a global health emergency if strategies and tools such as testing and vaccines are used in a comprehensive way.
Speaking at the opening of Executive Board meeting, Tedros said since Omicron was first identified a little over nine weeks ago, more than 80 million cases had been reported to the UN agency, more than were reported in the whole of 2020.
“Conditions are ideal for more variants to emerge,” he added.
