Tedro Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), warned yesterday that the threat of “another emerging pathogen with even more deadly potential” remained, and he asked the international community to “do something” to this end. Get ready” because of the potential for new pathogens to emerge. Epidemics keep coming.
He believes that “when the next pandemic comes (and it will come), we must be prepared to respond decisively, collectively and fairly.” The World Health Organization said that epidemics are far from the only threat facing humanity, but It takes for granted that new pathogens and new epidemics will come, so it urges world leaders to develop strategies to address these challenges.
On the other hand, it highlights the “high mental health toll” of the pandemic. The doctor added that “many of our own staff, like many healthcare workers around the world, are experiencing severe stress and burnout” as “the pandemic presents us with unprecedented challenges”.
In addition, the World Health Organization has warned that the threat of another “emerging variant of covid-19” will lead to “a new wave of disease and death”.
“This pandemic has thrown us off course, but it has shown us why the SDGs must continue to be our compass and why we must fight this pandemic with the same urgency and determination,” he stressed. to achieve these goals.”
who notified
*XBB variant*
Everyone is advised to wear a mask because the new variant of the Covid-Omicron XBB coronavirus is different, deadly and not easy to detect correctly.
Symptoms of the novel Covid-Omicron XBB virus are as follows:
No cough.
No fever.
Only a limited number of other symptoms occur:
joint pain.
Headache.
Neck pain.
Pain in the upper back.
pneumonia.
Usually no appetite.
Covid-Omicron XBB is five times more virulent than the Delta variant and has a higher mortality rate.
It takes less time for the condition to reach extreme severity, and sometimes there are no obvious symptoms.
This strain is not found in the nasopharyngeal region and directly affects the lungs within a relatively short period of time.
Several patients diagnosed with Covid-Omicron XBB were classified as afebrile and painless, but X-rays showed mild chest pneumonia.
Nasal swabs are often negative for Covid-Omicron XBB, and cases of false negative nasopharyngeal tests are also increasing.
This means that the virus can spread in the community and directly infect the lungs, causing viral pneumonia, which in turn causes acute respiratory distress.
This explains why Covid-Omicron XBB has become an extremely contagious, highly virulent and deadly virus.
As a precautionary measure, even if everyone is asymptomatic (no coughing or sneezing), avoid going to crowded places, keep a distance of 1.5m even in open spaces, wear a double layer mask, and wash your hands frequently.
It has been warned that this wave of Covid-Omicron XBB is deadlier than the first wave of Covid-19. Therefore, you are advised to be very careful and take some enhanced precautions against the coronavirus.
