Tedros said at a regular press conference in Geneva, “Last week, the number of confirmed cases of the new crown in the world increased for four consecutive weeks.
However, Tan Desai pointed out that in the face of the menacing mutant virus, countries and groups with different vaccination rates are facing very different situations, and the gap between them is expanding

alert! Delta cases in fully vaccinated population
alert! Delta cases in fully vaccinated population Tan Desai also pointed out that "Delta is spreading rapidly in countries with high vaccine coverage, especially infecting vulnerable and unprotected groups, and continues to increase the burden on the medical system.
In addition, it is worth noting that Sumia Swaminatan, the chief scientist of the World Health Organization, said on the 12th that among the fully vaccinated people, there have also been cases of infection with the new crown mutant virus delta, but they are all mildly ill.
Research reports on the illness, hospitalization and death of vaccinated and unvaccinated people show that the hospitalization rate of unvaccinated people is higher
Swaminatan pointed out that after vaccination, there is no guarantee that they will not be infected, but it can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality of severe illness after infection
Tan Desai also said, "Existing data show that the new crown vaccine can provide long-term and sustained immunity against severe illness and death

"Extinguishing"! Providing vaccines to low-income groups is more important Tan Desai also said that the current global anti-epidemic work is like responding to forest fires.
Tan Desai said that in order to extinguish the "flame of the epidemic", the international community needs to provide protection for the elderly, vulnerable groups, and medical workers as "firefighters".
Tan Desai said, “We need companies such as Modena and Pfizer, not to prioritize vaccine stocks and provide'booster injections' for countries with relatively high immunization rates, but to go all out to provide the'new crown vaccine acquisition mechanism', The African Vaccine Access Task Force and the provision of vaccines in low-income and low-middle-income countries
Tan Desai also said, “Don’t say anything to complete immunizations for low-income countries by 2023 and 2024.
