Kovid spreads sharply in Asia; World Health Organization with warning
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a warning in the wake of rising COVID-19 cases in various countries in Asia and Europe. The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for vaccination to be expanded and for greater vigilance in the fight against the virus. WHO Director-General Tedros Adanom Gebrias told a news conference that cases were on the rise in some parts of Asia.
Despite the reduction in trials, the increase in cases globally means “the cases we see are just the tip of the iceberg.” He added: “Continuous local outbreaks and surges are to be expected, especially in areas where measures have been taken to prevent the spread of the disease.”
According to Maria van Kerkhov, head of the World Health Organization’s Kovid-19 technical division, more than 11 million cases were reported to the World Health Organization last week. That’s eight percent more than the week before, she said.
One factor contributing to the growing number of cases in Asia is Omicron, the most widespread coronavirus variant. Another reason is that in some countries health measures such as masks, body distance, and travel restrictions are being lifted.
“Incomplete vaccination is also a problem in many parts of the world, especially among people at high risk for serious illness,” Kerkhov said.

The third factor that increases the number of cases is misinformation, they added that Omicron is mild and the epidemic is over. “We need a very strong monitoring system around the world for Kovid-19. Despite all the challenges we face, we still need to keep testing,” she stressed.
As each country faces different situations, the World Health Organization warns that the epidemic is not over yet, and all nations need to be vigilant. According to Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO Health Emergency Program, the virus “increases and decreases frequently.”
