The Pan American Health Organization said that millions of people around the world have been affected by the post-COVID syndrome.OPS), which recommends “continue vaccinating” to prevent this.
Studies have shown that “10 to 20% of people infected with the virus may develop symptoms,” known as post-acute or post-COVID, he explained at a press conference. Sylvain AldigieriCOVID-19 Eradication Manager OPS.
“If we base these numbers on a conservative estimate of the incidence of 10% of infected people, we have millions of people worldwide who had the condition at some point after an acute infection or who have symptoms,” he explained.
Symptoms can appear in a month or even three, and persist, added Marcos Espinal, Deputy Director OPSoffice for the Americas of the World Health Organization (WHO). He elaborates that they are very diverse, from fatigue to mild, neurological or mental health problems.
“The key to preventing this syndrome is to keep vaccinating,” says Espinal.
“It is important to end the pandemic,” and “it has been confirmed that if we do not vaccinate, the risk of developing post-COVID syndrome will be much higher,” he warns.
As a public health issue, post-COVID mobilized the scientific community.
More research needed
Some treatments have been effective for certain conditions, Aldigieri said, and there are currently 33 clinical trials for this treatment, but “larger-scale studies are needed.”
At the same press conference, the director of PAHO, Jarbas Barbozawarned that the danger remains, although the situation is “much better”, “the incidence of covid-19 is 20-30 times lower than a year ago.”
He reported that with 71%, “America is currently the region with the second highest vaccination coverage in the world” against COVID-19. But the disease is “still with us, and the virus has not yet taken a predictable form.”
“We are now out of the most acute phase,” but “things can change, for example, if we have a new option, so it is very important to consider that the pandemic is not over yet,” insists Barbosa, who recommends “continuing vaccination to save lives and support surveillance in all countries to detect changes in transmission trends.”
Vaccines are “excellent at preventing severe illness and death, but they are still not able to completely stop circulation,” the director emphasized. OPS, which amounted to more than 1.5 million new cases and 17,000 deaths in the last month in America. (AFP)
