Specialist of WHO O.Ariuntuya:

To date, more than 9.1 million cases of COVID19 and 470,000 deaths have been reported, according to WHO. Less than 10,000 cases of COVID19 were reported in the first month, and more than 4 million new cases were reported in the last month. The total number of infections is expected to reach 10 million next weeks.

In countries where the virus has been successfully stopped, there is a resurgence of the infection. Countries need to protect the health of their population and minimize socioeconomic damage. The head of WHO called on governments to find innovative solutions to protect the health of their people while maintaining their livelihoods.

COVID19 makes us understand the value of investing in health systems, human resources, and the importance of solidarity and preparedness.

Today, Congo announced the end of the Ebola outbreak after two years of struggle. Early detection and rapid response to the Ebola virus are also important in stopping COVID19 infection.
