The infection of omicron has opened a new chapter of the coronavirus pandemic. This could end the pandemic in Europe. The World Health Organization's (WHO) European director, Hans Klag, spoke of such hopes in an interview with AFP.
Hans Klag said 60 percent of Europeans could be infected with omicrons by March. It seems that Europe is heading towards the last phase of the pandemic.
Several weeks after the decline in the number of Omicron infections in Europe And will have worldwide immunity for several months. People's immunity has increased due to vaccination and infection.
Klag also said there could be another corona infection by the end of this year. But before that, the impact of Corona will not be much. It cannot be said that the epidemic will come back again.
On Sunday, U.S. top infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci spoke of a similar possibility. Speaking on ABC News' talk show This Week, he said: Corona infections are decreasing in various parts of the United States. The situation seems good.
We know that the immunity increases after taking the vaccine per dose.
Fauci also said that if there is a trend of reducing the rate of coronavirus infection in the North-East of the United States, the situation of the epidemic will change. The World Health Organization's regional office in Africa said the number of corona infections and deaths fell for the first time last week since the start of the fourth wave of the omicron. Research says that the infection is higher in omicron than delta. However, there are fewer serious illnesses in Omicron than in Delta. Especially those who have been vaccinated have less illness. In this situation, it is expected that the coronavirus can take the form of normal seasonal fever from the pandemic.
However, Kluge also said that the time has not yet come to say whether the coronavirus is a local or seasonal disease. "The dynamics of the coronavirus have surprised us time and again. So we have to be very careful. Thierry Britton of the European Commissioner for Internal Markets told French television channel LCL yesterday that the vaccines available can be made effective against any new type of corona."
Thierry Britton added: "We're ready to make vaccines, especially mRNA, suitable for adapting to new variants of the coronavirus."
There are 53 countries in the World Health Organization's Europe region. This includes several countries in Central Asia. On January 18, 15 per cent of the infections were due to omicron. The Eu's health agency and the European Economic Area have omicron.
Referring to the rapid spread of omicrons in Europe, Klag said the safety of those at risk should be given more importance. He urged everyone to perform their duties. If you don't feel well, stay at home. Take a rest. If you are infected with corona, then stay in isolation.
