"This virus will continue to evolve, which is why we call on countries to continue testing, surveillance and sequencing," World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
"It is premature for any country to either surrender or to declare victory," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters.His comment came as Denmark on Tuesday became the first EU country to lift all of its domestic COVID-19 curbs despite record numbers of cases of the milder Omicron variant, with a number of other countries eying similar moves.
"Nothing could be further from the truth," he said, stressing that "more COVID-19 transmission means more deaths." And while the new COVID-19 variant is known to be milder, he stressed that "we are now starting to see a very worrying increase in deaths in most regions of the world.""We are not calling for any country to return to so-called lockdown," Tedros said, adding though that "we are calling on all countries to protect their people using every tool in the toolkit, not vaccines alone.
