The number of new coronavirus cases globally fell by 19 per cent in the last week while the number of deaths remained stable, according to the World Health Organisation.
The head of the World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that conditions remain ideal for more coronavirus variants to emerge and that it is dangerous to assume Omicron is the last one or that “we are in the endgame”.
The World Health Organisation chief has taken a swipe at Governments for a “toxic combination” of politicisation, short-term self interest and disinformation which is fuelling the Covid-19 pandemic.
The World Health Organisation says the global number of coronavirus cases and deaths is plateauing, with declines in most regions including the two worst-affected: the Americas and Europe.
