Michael Rayan, Executive- Director of Emergency of the World Health Organization (WHO), said that the world is witnessing some stability in the rate of infection with the Coronavirus ( known also as COVID-19).
Rayan indicated, during a news conference held in Geneva, Switzerland, that over the last two weeks percentage of the infection with the deadly virus retreated significantly.
He affirmed that the situation in the world now is better than what it was before three months.
Rayan touched on the epidemiological situation across the planet.
He revealed that some countries saw a decline in infections, meanwhile, the rate of infection spiked in others due to the effectiveness of detecting mutations of COVID-19, easing restrictions, and of increasing mixing up between people.
Despite stability in infections, the WHO warned last week of the possibility of a new dangerous wave of the COVID-19 owning to the spread of the "Delta" variant in Europe.
On December 31, 2019, the Chinese authorities informed the WHO of an outbreak of unknown pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, in the central part of the country (Hubei Province).
The organization declared the Coronavirus as a pandemic on March 11, 2020.
Days ago, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, General- Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that the world is getting through a very dangerous stage of developing the Coronavirus (known also as COVID-19) after the emerging of the "Delta" strain.
Ghebreyesus added that this strain was detected in ninety-eight regions in the world so far, stressing that the "Delta" strain is very dangerous as it continues to mutate.
He added that this strain becomes the most overwhelming in many countries, so the planet faces challenges due to that stage of the pandemic.
Chief of the WHO said that the health system across the globe must thoroughly monitor the new mutations of the deadly virus and prepared means to handle them.
He pointed out the importance of early examinations, checks of infection, isolating the patients, and treating them.
