The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced a significant decrease in deaths and infections with the Coronavirus (known also by the organization as (COVID-19) around the planet since last week.

The organization explained over its periodical evaluation that 3.3 million new confirmed infections were reported along with 55 thousand deaths were registered so far, by a 10% decrease in both deaths and infections with the deadly virus in part of the globe.

The report of the WHO indicated that the largest decrease in causalities of COVID-19 was reported in the Middle East, the Americas, and in the west of the Pacific Ocean.

The UN organization affirmed a great decrease in infections for the first time since mid-September when 4 million infections only were reports across the planet.

It is worth noting that the recent decrease in infections with COVID-10 was the first in two months.

The WHO said that all parts of the world have registered a big decrease in infections with COVID-19 by 15%, except Europe where the number of deaths equals one of the last week.

Also, the death toll of COVID-19 rose by 5% in Africa, meanwhile, the death toll of COVID-19 slid by 25% IN Asia.

However, the WHO warns of a possible increase in causalities of COVID-19 in the northern hemisphere when the winter comes there as the disease spreads at faster rates during that season because people spend longer times in closed places.

On the other hand, General-Secretary of the United Nations (UN)   António Guterres urges developed nations to intensify efforts to protect employees inflicted with the Corona pandemic in the world by pumping additional funds estimated at one trillion dollars to support the world economy.

Guterres warns the gap between the rich and poor in the world gets wider in getting vaccines against the Coronavirus.

He revealed that the rich nations are able to borrow at easier terms to fund programs of social care but the poor nations suffer more to borrow at higher rates of interest.
