WHO seeks moratorium on Covid booster doses

The move is to enable that at least 10% of the population of every country was vaccinated, WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

Low-income countries have only been able to administer 1.5 doses for every 100 people, due to lack of supply. "We need instead to focus on those people who are most vulnerable, most at risk of severe disease and death, to get their first and second doses," said Katherine O'Brien, director, immunisation vaccines and biologicals at the WHO.Australia's New South Wales reported one of the country's youngest deaths from Covid-19, as daily infections lingered near a 16-month high despite the lockdown of 5 million people in Sydney entering its sixth week.

New South Wales recorded 233 new cases, near a 16-month high reported last week, and State Premier Gladys Berejiklian said case numbers would likely grow. Additionally, government modelling released yesterday showed at least 70% of the state's population would need to be inoculated to slow the spread.

A total of 17 people have died in Sydney during the current outbreak that began on 16 June. During that time, the surge has pushed the total cases in New South Wales to more than 4,000. Macau has set up 41 nucleic acid testing stations across the city which will run non-stop for at least three days, which is the estimated required period, the statement said. Appointments would not be needed, it said.

The Gulf state, a major international travel hub, yesterday said it would scrap on 5 August a transit flight ban which Emirates airline later said applied to passengers travelling from 12 countries, including major market India. Mr Griffiths said the easing of entry restrictions on inbound travellers from South Asia as well as Nigeria and Uganda would allow for thousands of UAE residents to return.Those travelling to the UAE or transiting through its airports need to meet various conditions including presenting a negative polymerase chain reaction coronavirus test prior to departure.
