The WHO brings to the attention of the whole world, through a very alarming announcement officially published, about the critical situation that the whole world is going through, and about which all people must know, and this because the next weeks will be extremely difficult in terms of the Coronavirus pandemic, so vigilance is required from all people who are exposed.
The WHO has been talking for some time about the very worrying situation that the whole world is going through at the moment, and this is because the number of new cases continues to increase due to the BA.4 and BA.5 variants, and the BA.2.75 is still ongoing growth recently, even if it is far from being dominant somewhere.
The WHO says, through the voice of Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, that it is necessary for people to reduce the risk of infection, or re-infection, by vaccination, wearing masks in closed spaces, or near people with symptoms of infection, keeping distance from other people, and of course to disinfect his hands when necessary.
WHO makes the same recommendations from the last months, and brings back to the attention the fact that Long COVID can be an extremely serious problem for people who are affected for long periods of time by the symptoms that appear at the time of infection, it being very important to avoid re-infection, especially by several times, because this is how this serious condition is installed.
The next weeks & months are critical to be vigilant for # COVID19
As individuals: get vaccinated and take measures to reduce the risk of (re)infection. Mask indoors when around others outside your immediate family. Distance. Test. Ventilated. Wash hands. Live life safely. Be kind.
