The "Telegraph", a UK daily newspaper, revealed that leaders of the seven great economics in the world (known also as G7) have pledged, over their ongoing meeting in the United Kingdom (UK), to terminate animal-origin epidemics within 100 days.

They are going to issue a declaration regarding world health today, Saturday.

It will pose a turning point in the world's efforts to face the challenges of the Coronavirus and its various strains in many parts of the planet.

The Telegraph indicated that the " Carbis Bay Declaration" that the leaders will sign today includes opening a new center in the UK to develop animal vaccines to stop passing viruses from animals to humans.

The member-states of the G7 group vow to take a series of steps to terminate pandemics in the first 100 days.

In an attempt to avoid repeating the crisis of COVID-19, the G7 will pledge to support networks of monitoring pandemics across the world and strengthening studies of genetics chains in the viruses along with aiding reforms in the World Health Organization (WHO).

The UK newspaper pointed out Sir Patrick Valance, Senior Scientific Advisor to the British government, and Melinda Gates, a philanthropic and ex-wife of Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, ask the leaders of the G7 to accelerate producing vaccines, treatments, and tools of diagnosis within the 100 days to come.

The report explained that both Valance and Gates will submit during the summit of the G7 a review on behalf of the "Epidemic Preparedness Partnership" group.

This group comprises international experts in industry, government, and scientific institutions who present advice to the G7 on the possible spreading of viruses in the future.

It is scheduled that UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson will unveil over the summit a plan to establish a center to develop and produce new animal vaccines in the UK IN Surrey in the south of London.
