WHO says COVID-19 pandemic will last longer than anticipated due to wrong country policies

Maria Van Kerkhove, epidemiologist and technical director of the World Health Organization (WHO) on COVID-19, warned that the world is moving away from the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Writes about it "Voice of America".

According to her, this is due to the emergence of new variants of the virus, non-compliance with preventive measures and a lack of vaccines.

Van Kerkhove noted that over the past week, the number of new cases of the disease in the world has increased by 11,5%, and the number of deaths has increased by 1%.

Он отметила, что в Европе количество случаев заражения выросло на 21%, а в западной части Тихого океана — на 30%.

“We are in a very dangerous situation,” she said. "The situation is getting more and more complex and we are getting further and further from the end of this pandemic than we should be at the moment."

The skyrocketing numbers of cases in the US and abroad are fueling fears of a resurgent pandemic and causing stock market turmoil.
