Two authorities from the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasized, during a virtual event this Tuesday, the need to maintain care against covid-19. Technical lead on Covid-19 at the WHO, Maria Van Kerkhove noted that the Ômicron variant does tend to cause less severe disease, but rejected that this does not necessarily mean that it generates a “mild disease”. She recalled that many of those hospitalized around the world currently contracted the Ômicron variant.
During a question-and-answer session, he also highlighted the recent big jump in the number of cases of the disease. According to her, participating in parties with many people, in the current situation, “is very dangerous”.
Maria Van Kerkhove insisted on the need for measures such as vaccination and also physical distancing, that good masks are used, crowds are avoided and that places are ventilated.
He also recommended that, if there was a possibility, keeping remote work is the best alternative at this time.
WHO Executive Director Michael Ryan said it was “unreasonable” to bet that the Ômicron variant will be the last of Covid-19.
He highlighted the recent jump in cases and considered that there was a “perfect storm” for this. In addition to the fact that this strain is more contagious, there was a lot of contact between people during the holiday season, he recalled.
