of the WHO, they warn that the Delta variant is dominant in the world

“The Delta variant is fast becoming the dominant variant globally by increasing its transmissibility,” Soumya Swaminathan said at a press conference.

At the same time, the Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, today deplored the “global failure” that, according to the international body, suffered the global distribution of vaccines to the detriment of poorest countries.

During a press conference, Tedros recalled that more than half of high-income regions already have enough doses to be able to immunize their populations, and that only three of 79 low-income states have reached similar levels.

“We appreciate the vaccines donated by the G7 and the commitment of countries, like the United States, to share vaccine doses in June and July, but we ask others to follow these examples. We need vaccines to save lives “, underlined the head of the organization of the United Nations, quoted by the press agency Europa Press.

Tedros also warned that “many” Latin American countries have seen “increased” levels of coronavirus transmission and, at the same time, in Africa cases have increased by 52% last week, with an increase in 32% death.

“It will only get worse, we need vaccines”, finally exclaimed the director general of the WHO.
