Tedros Adanom Gebreyesus
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adanom Ghebreyesus assessed the ability to control the coronavirus. RIA Novosti reports.
The head of the organization noted that in the world the number of new cases of infection with the virus has been declining for the third week in a row, although in some countries their number continues to grow. He stressed that at the global level, this is encouraging news. Ghebreyesus also added that this trend indicates that the coronavirus can be controlled, even given the emergence of new variants.
Earlier, the head of the WHO immunization department, Kate O'Brien, called the shortcomings of vaccines against coronavirus. O'Brien warned that precautions must be followed after vaccination, since the world community still does not know whether vaccination can protect a person from infection and transmission.
