‘Covid-19 will end in 2022 if…’: WHO chief lists one condition

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tan Desai reiterated that “if we end inequality together”, the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic will end in 2022. As the world enters the third year of the pandemic, he conveyed this message in his New Year address. “Although no country has emerged from the pandemic, we have many new tools to prevent and treat COVID-19. The longer inequality persists, the greater the risk of this virus evolving in ways that we cannot prevent or predict. High. If we end inequality, we will end the pandemic,” he said.

Tan Desai emphasized that Covid-19 is not the only health threat that the people of the world will face next year. He said that millions of people have missed out on routine vaccinations, family planning services, treatments for infectious and non-communicable diseases.

He further stated that in order to help the world prepare for future epidemics and pandemics, “we have established a new WHO BioHub system for countries to share new biological materials”. The WHO Director-General added that all countries must focus on vaccinating an increasing number of people. “We need all countries to work together to achieve the global goal of vaccinating 70% of people in all countries by mid-2022,” Tedros said.

A new variant of the coronavirus called Omicron has recently appeared in South Africa and has caused a surge in Covid-19 infections worldwide. It has been classified as a “variant of concern” by the World Health Organization.

A few days ago, Tedros said at a media briefing that “2022 must be the year we end the pandemic”.

The above remarks were made after the WHO granted emergency use authorization for the ninth vaccine produced by the Serological Institute of India (SII) under the Novavax license. The head of WHO stated that the new vaccine is part of the COVAX product portfolio and hopes that it will play an important role in achieving global vaccination goals.
