(Paris New Dian) The World Health Organization said that the world's new crown disease confirmed cases have increased by 80 % in the past month, reaching nearly 1.5 million between July 10 and August 6.
However, the death case of the same period was sharply decreased by 57%to 2500.The World Wei stated in a weekly report on Friday (August 11) that new data cannot reflect the actual querous diagnosis and death toll, partly because the number of tests and tracking cases in various countries is much less than the beginning of the outbreak.
The WHO said that most of the newly -added diagnosis cases in the past month are mostly from the Western Pacific region, and the number of diagnostic people in this area has increased by 137%.
There are also several countries in the northern hemisphere, including the United States, Britain, France, and Japan. In recent weeks, summer cases have risen.
Experts believe that people in summer gathering and travel, coupled with the decline in immunity to crown diseases, and new subtypes, EG.5, are the key to the number of diagnostic people rising.
Mutant EG.5 is more communication and evasion of immunization
The data from the WHO show that in mid -July, in all cases of reports, the cases of "Variant of Interest" EG.5 accounted for 17%, which was higher than 7.6%a month ago.
Eg.5 is considered to be the descendant of the Omikon mutant strain XBB.The WHO said that due to mutations in spiny protein, EG.5 seems to be more spread than other popular variants, and it has shown the ability to evade immune.However, WHO pointed out that there is no sign of signs that EG.5 causes more serious crown disease symptoms, and the risk of global public health is also "low".
However, the Director -General of the WHO Tan Dezai warned that the risk of more dangerous variants still exists, "it may lead to sudden increase in cases and deaths."
Flahot, director of the University of Geneva Global Health Research Institute, said that the true situation of epidemic situations around the world is still unknown."Hygiene officials need to restore a reliable crown health detection system" and call for detection of wastewater to master the trend of virus.
