The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated on Friday that 90% of the world’s population now has some immunity to COVID-19, although it warned of a new variant.
” WHO It is estimated that at least 90% of the world’s population currently has some level of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 due to a previous infection or vaccination,” the CEO said. WHOTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, referring to the virus that causes the disease COVID-19.
“We are much closer to saying that the emergency phase of the pandemic is over, but we are not there yet,” he added at a press conference.
Tedros warned that reduced infection surveillance opens the door for a new variant of the virus that can overcome the dominant omicron.
“Gaps in surveillance, testing, sequencing and vaccination continue to create ideal conditions for the emergence of a worrying new variant that could lead to significant mortality,” he warned.
Tedros recalled that last weekend it was a year since WHO reported a new, more infectious variant, the omicron.
Over 500 omicron sub-variants
There are currently over 500 sub-variants of omicrons, all of which are easily transmitted. They also have mutations that allow them to evade immunity more easily, Tedros recalled.
countries turned to WHO 6.6 million deaths from COVID-19. Nearly 640 million infections have also been recorded.
The UN health agency insists that the figures do not reflect the true number of victims.
More than 8,500 people died from the coronavirus last week. COVID-19Tedros remembered. A figure that is “unacceptable” after three years of a pandemic, when “we already have so many tools to prevent infections and save lives.”

Espacio Vital: Dr. Cesar Munaiko, Executive Director of Public Health Surveillance CDC at the Ministry of Health (Minsa), explained that avian influenza viruses could cause a pandemic. He said that there are two types of the virus: low pathogenic and highly pathogenic, which infect birds, poultry and in some cases infect humans. A person can become infected, but very rarely. In the United States, a case with fatigue was identified, but it could be controlled, it happens, but rarely, the specialist specified. He also pointed out that the H5N1 virus was found in pelicans, which is why Senasa issued a health alert, however H5N1 identification was not found in poultry, only in pelicans. He warned not to handle a dead bird, so he advised not to approach dead or sick birds.
