While news about COVID-19 vaccines are “encouraging,” World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, today (16 Nov) said “this is not the time for complacency.”
Dr Tedros said the WHO remains “cautiously optimistic about the potential for new tools to start to arrive in the coming months,” but “right now, we are extremely concerned by the surge in cases we’re seeing in some countries,” particularly in Europe and the Americas, where “health workers and health systems are being pushed to the breaking point.”
The Director-General stressed that “this is a dangerous virus, which can attack every system in the body,” adding that “those countries that are letting the virus run unchecked are playing with fire.”-WHO
