Emergency Committee for COVID-19 World Health Organization (WHO) meets today, as it does every quarter, to analyze whether a pandemic caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 continues to be an international emergency, a situation declared by this body as of January 30, 2020.
An expert committee meeting chaired by the Frenchman Didier Houssin will make its recommendations, but the decision on whether to maintain the state of emergency or not, as in previous meetings, will remain with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesuswho will unveil it in the coming days, though no date has yet been set.
This is the fourteenth time this committee has met and at all previous meetings it has recommended that the international emergency be maintained given the still high number of infections, local sources of transmission and deaths from coronavirus on all continents.
Reduction of preventive measures
Despite the fact that in many countries, especially developed ones, a significant part of preventive measures have been canceled due to high vaccination rates and the spread of mild cases, WHO He recently expressed concern about the wave of infections in countries such as China, as well as the reduction in tests in many countries.
Reducing the number of tests and sequencing of the virus in laboratories highlights the agency UNmakes it difficult to have a complete understanding of the epidemiological situation, which opens the door for the possible evolution of coronavirus into more dangerous variants (either more contagious or more resistant to vaccines and treatments).
After more than three years pandemic664 million cases COVID-19and 6.7 million people died from the disease, although WHO emphasizes that these are only confirmed cases, and the real numbers could be much higher. (EFE)
