Al-Marsad newspaper – agencies: The Director of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned that the threat of the emergence of a new, more dangerous strain of the Corona virus, once morest which current vaccines would be ineffective, is completely real.
“There remains a real and clear threat of the emergence of a new, more virulent type (of SARS-CoV-2) that can avoid exposure to our vaccines,” Ghebreyesus said Friday during the “Globsek-2022” security conference in Bratislava.
In particular, Ghebreyesus said the number of deaths reported in Africa and the Western Pacific was rising.
“It is very difficult to predict how the virus will develop… We know for sure that future options must be more contagious than current options, but we cannot predict how severe it will be in terms of disease severity,” the WHO director said.
