“I’m afraid we’re running a marathon, but we can’t say we’re at the end – we see the end in sight, but we’re not there yet. And before we get there, there will be several potholes, “said the expert.
Details
According to him, in addition to “Omicron”, new variants of the virus are expected, which continues to develop.
“Obviously, no country, especially the poor, has serious restrictions. People just need to keep working, so now politicians have a very difficult choice. At least the next three months will be difficult,” Nabarro said.
What was before
According to UNN, experts believe that today there is growing evidence that the new version of the coronavirus “Omicron” affects the upper respiratory tract, causing milder symptoms than previous versions. At the same time, additional research is needed today to prove this.
WHO data show that the variant, first discovered in November, spread rapidly and was seen in at least 128 countries. However, although the number of cases has risen to record levels, hospitalization and mortality rates are often lower than in other stages of the pandemic.
But the WHO said that the version of the coronavirus “Omicron”, although it looks less serious than “Delta”, does not belong to the category of “lungs”.
However, the head of the World Health Organization Tedros Adan Gebreyesus believes that the coronavirus pandemic should end in 2022.
