WHO: ＂tsunami＂ caused by Omikon and Delta may lead to the global medical system

(Paris Composite Electric) The World Health Organization warned that the "tsunami" of the epidemic "tsunami" caused by crowning strains of Omikon and Delta may lead to overwhelming the global medical system.WHO emphasized that fair distribution of vaccines and continuing to implement epidemic prevention measures that are conducive to the popularity of crown diseases ends in 2022.

The Director -General of the WHO Tan Desai said at a press conference on Wednesday: "I am very concerned about the spread of the more contagious Omikon strains and Delta strains at the same time.It will continue to bring tremendous pressure on the exhausted medical workers and the endangered health system. "

Tan Desai reminds that" the Omikon strain is gentle "is dangerous.idea.

Ruian, executive director of the WHO Health Emergency Project, also said that the main infection of Omikon is currently infected with young groups. It is now widely spread in the older group.The conclusion is too early.

The virus is unlikely to disappear completely

Ruian said that it is possible to distribute vaccines and continue to implement epidemic prevention measures.The increase in acute period ended in 2022.However, since then, the coronary virus is unlikely to completely disappear, but may enter a low -level communication mode, and occasionally outbreaks in the population with a low vaccination rate.

According to the statistics of Agence France -Presse, in the seven days of the 22nd to 28th of this month, 6.55 million people in the world were infected with crown disease.According to Bloomberg, there are more than 1.63 million new cases around Wednesday, which have exceeded one million in three consecutive days, and the increase is unprecedented.

The new confirmed cases of many European countries have reached a new high.The British added 180,3037 on Wednesday, the largest day; in the England region, more than 10,000 patients admitted to the hospital were the highest since March this year.

France added more than 200,000 confirmed cases on Wednesday, which is also a new high in the country.At present, France has an average of more than 1,000 crown patients in France admitted to the hospital. Although it is far below 3,500 at the first wave of the first wave of epidemic in April 2020, the surge in cases still make the medical system tighter.

Some countries re -examine the isolation regulations

In order to curb virus transmission, the French government has introduced new measures, including the national nightclub extended closure for three weeks, restaurants and restaurants and prohibited from restaurants and restaurants and restaurants and restaurants.Standing in the cafe consumption.Paris has also been forced to wear masks outdoors since Friday.

Greece is prohibited from playing music at bars and restaurants from Thursday to January 16th, and only six people can be at the table to limit the crowd of celebrating New Year activities.

The continuous surge in cases has prompted some countries to re -examine the isolation regulations to reduce the impact on the economy.Spain announced on Wednesday that the isolation period of crown patients has been shortened from 10 days to seven days.

The American Disease Control and Prevention Center (CDC) also suggested recently to shorten the isolation period of asymptomatic patients from 10 days to 5 days.But disease experts questioned this approach, and worried that this could lead to more infection.

Experts point out that the new guidance of CDC has not distinguished from vaccination and unagittering, and the rehabilitation time of not vaccinating is often long; the authorities do not require the infected persons to return to work positions or restore social activities before they return to work., Must be tested to determine that it is not infectious.

For shortening the isolation period, Ruian believes that this is a compromised approach to control the balance between controlling infection and maintaining economic operation, but it must be implemented with caution."Some data show that the latent period of Omikon may be shorter, but the scope of infection may still be very wide. At this stage, the wise approach is that don't just relax crown disease prevention and control measures based on preliminary research."
