Omicron could be the last episode of epidemic in Europe: WHO

Omicron infection has started a new chapter in the coronavirus epidemic. This could end the epidemic in Europe. Hans Klag, the World Health Organization's (WHO) director for Europe, told AFP in an interview.

 

Hans Klag says 60 percent of Europeans could be exposed to emissions by March. Apparently, Europe is heading towards the end of the epidemic.

Immune infections in Europe will have global immunity for several weeks and months. Vaccination and infection have increased human immunity.

Klag added that coronary heart disease could occur again later this year. But before that, the effect of corona will not be too much. It cannot be said that the epidemic will return.

Anthony Fawcett, the top infectious disease specialist in the United States, said on Sunday that there was a similar possibility. He told primary News talk show This Week that coronary heart disease is on the decline in various parts of the United States. The situation seems to be getting better.

Fawcett said the trend toward a declining coronavirus infection in the northeastern United States could change the epidemic situation.

Researchers say that ammonia is more likely to be infected than delta. However, Omicron has less serious illnesses than Delta. Especially those who have been vaccinated have less illness. In this situation, it is expected that the coronavirus could turn from an epidemic into a common seasonal fever.

However, Klag A-O said it was not yet time to say whether the coronavirus was a local or seasonal disease. "The nature of the coronavirus has repeatedly surprised us," he said. So we have to be careful. He said that the rapid spread of ammonia infection could lead to more new types of infections.

Thierry Britton, the European Commissioner for Internal Markets, told the French television channel LCL yesterday that the vaccines available could be used against any new type of corona.

 

Thierry Britton added: "We are ready to make the vaccines especially suitable for adapting mRNA to new strains of coronavirus."

The World Health Organization has 53 countries in Europe. This includes several Central Asian countries. On January 17, 15 percent of the infections were due to immunization.

 

Omicron has a strong presence in the European Union's health sector and in the European Economic Area.

Noting the rapid spread of emissions in Europe, Klag said those who are at risk need to pay more attention to their safety. He urged everyone to fulfill their respective responsibilities. "If you don't feel well, stay home," he said. Take a rest. If infected with corona, stay in isolation.

 

Asked if a fourth dose of the vaccine was needed to end the Corona epidemic, Klag said, "We know that the immune system is strengthened after each dose of vaccine."

More than 22.26 million infections were detected yesterday, according to data provided by Corona's full-time information website World Meters. More than 4,600 patients died on this day. On the previous day, 26 lakh 36 thousand infections were detected and 6 thousand 300 patients died.

Corona infections in the United States declined in October last year. Then it started growing again in November. The peak of the infection reached its peak on January 6. About 9 lakh infections were detected on that day. On Saturday, 3 lakh 12 thousand people were infected and 841 people died. Yesterday, 1 lakh 96 thousand people were 574 people died on this day.

 

Daily infections have also decreased in India. The country was infected with 3 lakh 33 thousand people on Saturday and 484 people died. Yesterday 3 lakh 8 thousand people were infected, 511 people died on this day. In India, more than 395,000 people have been infected and more than 469,000 have died so far.
