The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed extreme concern that many people and governments around the world consider the coronavirus pandemic over. This was stated by the director of the WHO emergency program Michael Ryan, the broadcast is available on Twitter.
He assured that this was not the case, and warned of the possibility of a third and fourth wave of COVID-19 if the inhabitants of the Earth were not careful.
While the coronavirus vaccines are encouraging, Ryan said vigilance and concentration need to be maintained. “Hoping for a vaccine, people start to act somewhat relaxed. And the change in people's behavior ultimately affects the epidemiological situation and the rate of spread of the virus, ”explained the WHO expert.
He urged to continue to carefully observe public measures to combat the spread of coronavirus, which are able to suppress, including new strains.
Earlier, the head of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, Hans Kluge, emphasized that the coronavirus pandemic will last throughout 2021, and it can be expected to end by early 2022. However, this does not mean that the virus will completely disappear.
