World Health Organization warns, coronavirus epidemic may last longer

The World Health Organization has issued a warning about the corona virus, stating that the corona virus may remain for a long time. The WHO said this after meeting with the Emergency Committee on a six-month evaluation of the covid-19.

The WHO said in a statement that the committee has given long-term forecasts of the covid-19 epidemic. It has been seven months since the coronavirus came into existence, and in the meantime the committee has met four times to assess the coronavirus risk.

After this meeting, the World Health Organization has determined the threat of covid-19 globally. The coronavirus has lost about 6,80,000 people in the world and the virus has engulfed more than 18 million people in the world.

The committee has 17 members and 12 advisors and all say that the epidemic will still be classified as a public health emergency in international affairs. Many countries resorted to strict lockdowns in the country to control the virus and shut down work in almost all sectors for two to three months but it had a profound impact on the economy of these countries.

The committee appealed to the World Health Organization to help countries in making the vaccine. In addition, he appealed to the organization to look at other means of the virus as to whether coronavirus infection could occur in animals and if yes, what steps should be taken to prevent it.

In addition, the committee wants more emphasis on other components of the virus such as the medium of infection, the home of the virus, mutation of the virus, immunity to prevent infection. The meeting took place at the World Health Organization's headquarters in Geneva, where some participants were linked via video links.

At the meeting on the coronavirus, the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyes, says that the impact of the epidemic will continue for a long time. Such an epidemic occurs once in 100 years but remains in effect for decades. The committee has warned all countries to keep themselves and their country's health system in order to fight seasonal influenza or other viruses.

The organization has drawn a lot of criticism for the time taken by the World Health Organization to declare the coronavirus an international emergency. The US had banned funding to the World Health Organization and accused the organization of meeting China.

Corona Vaccine Vaccination to Start in October

The number of corona infections worldwide is increasing steadily. So far, one crore 76 lakh people have fallen prey to it, while more than six lakh 80 thousand people have died due to this virus. Work is continuing to make its vaccine. About 23 projects are going on around the world, some of which are in the final stages of trials, ie the good news can be received anytime. Meanwhile, a good news is coming from Russia regarding the Corona vaccine. Health Minister Mikhail Murashko says that the government is planning to give the vaccine to citizens in October and preparations are being made for a large-scale vaccination campaign.

Health Minister Mikhail Murashko has said that first the doctors and teachers will be given the Corona vaccine. Only then will it be extended to other citizens. According to media reports, this potential vaccine from Russia will get regulatory approval this month.

However, many experts are also expressing concern about this vaccine of Russia. Their concern is whether all the necessary tests are being done before giving the vaccine dose to the people. America's infectious disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauchi has also raised similar concerns. However, he has hoped that by the end of this year, the US will have a safe and effective vaccine for Corona.

Russia's vaccine has been developed by Moscow's Gamalaya Institute. Last month, there was a report that Russia may soon approve the use of the vaccine. Scientists are increasingly working to get the vaccine approved on or before August 10.

Last month's report stated that the vaccine would first be given to frontline healthcare workers, or directly to health workers serving Corona-infected people.

The second phase of this vaccine is underway in Russia, but scientists hope that this phase will be completed by August 3. After this, preparation for the third phase of trials will be done.

Russian scientists say they developed this vaccine early because it is a modified version of a vaccine already manufactured to fight other diseases. The report claimed that Alexander Ginsberg, the director of this vaccine-making project, had also tested the vaccine himself.

America's vaccine is in final stages

On the other hand, work is going on in the US for making vaccines. This vaccine trial of Moderna Company is in the final stages. Recently, a test has been started on 30 thousand people. Now only the results are waiting. The US is expected to have this vaccine by the end of the year.

When will Britain's vaccine come?

The UK vaccine is also in the final stages of trial. The name of this vaccine is ChAdOx1, which has been developed by researchers at Oxford University. It has been claimed that if all the tests are successful then this vaccine will be available in the market by the end of this year.

When will India's vaccine come?

Two vaccine projects are underway in India. It also includes a vaccine produced by ICMR and Bharat Biotech, named 'Covaxin'. In the last month itself, its human trials have been started in other institutions including Delhi AIIMS, Patna AIIMS and Rohtak PGI. There is no firm information about how long this will be available in the market.

Third wave of corona epidemic

The tensions between China and Hong Kong over the past year are not over. Meanwhile, the corona epidemic continues to wreak havoc in Hong Kong. China has now made preparations to rein in the rapidly spreading corona virus in Hong Kong. China is sending a team of 60 health workers to Hong Kong to stop the third wave of Corona epidemic in Hong Kong. Under this, the first team of 7 health workers will reach Hong Kong on Sunday. After this, the entire team of 60 people will reach Hong Kong to investigate the corona rapidly and extensively. China's National Health Commission announced its scheduled arrival on Saturday.

According to the information, members of this team are from public hospitals in Guangdong province, while a specialist team of six from Wuhan, where coronaviruses first appeared in the world. This team will help create part of the AsiaWorld Expo Conference Center as a facility for COVID-19 patients. This is the first time a Chinese health official has assisted Hong Kong in its fight to control the coronavirus.

Some local residents fear that China may use it as an excuse to collect DNA samples for surveillance purposes. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Saturday that the former British colony sought help from the central government due to a resurgence in affairs. Local broadcaster RTHK reported on Saturday that Carrie Lam said the government was studying whether all could be tested in Hong Kong. The Chinese region saw an increase in locally transmitted coronavirus cases in July and introduced a range of stringent measures, including gathering two people and mandating masks in public places.
