The number of new coronavirus infections globally increased a week for the first time in seven weeks, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday.
Tedros said the rise was”disappointing but not surprising” and urged countries not to relax measures to fight the spread of this disease. He suggested that countries were hastening to loosen these steps, betting on vaccines to bring an end to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“If nations rely solely on vaccines, they’re making a mistake. Basic public health measures remain the foundation of the response,” Tedros said.
He noted that Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire became the first countries on Monday to start vaccinating people with doses provided by COVAX, the worldwide programme to supply vaccines for poor and middle-income countries. But he also criticised rich countries for hoarding vaccine doses.
“It’s regrettable that some countries continue to prioritise vaccinating younger healthy adults in lower risk of diseases within their own inhabitants, ahead of health workers and older people elsewhere,” Tedros said.
