The IMF understands that vaccination policy is an economic policy.
London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 reopens.
It has been closed since passenger numbers plummeted during the pandemic.
It will be used to serve travelers arriving in the United Kingdom from countries with poor health conditions and a high risk of Covid.
Yet so far passengers who have landed in London from countries on the British government’s “red list” have been using the same airport arrivals lounge as thousands of travelers from other safer countries.
The move comes as the UK has recorded zero deaths in the 28 days after testing positive for Covid-19 for the first time since July last year.
The government celebrates it as a great achievement that contrasts with the 1,700 daily deaths that occurred in the first moments when the Boris Johnson government did not take protective measures or apply social distancing rules.
A sanitary change attributed to the systematization of treatments and the extension of vaccines.
The World Health Organization has approved another vaccine, the Chinese Sinovac, the second developed in China to receive the green light.
It is the eighth approved worldwide by the WHO.
The European Commission on Friday authorized the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine for use in children up to twelve years of age.
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund will support an urgent investment of fifty billion dollars to finance the equitable distribution of vaccines around the world.
Kristalina Georgieva, IMF director explained the reasons:“We are deeply concerned that a two-speed pandemic is causing a two-speed economic recovery also with negative consequences for all countries. Our data shows that, in the short term, vaccinating the entire world is the most effective way to boost global production. In other words, vaccine policy is economic policy. “
And in Poland, while daily infections continue to decline, the government has announced that it will offer the Covid-19 vaccine to children between 12 and 15 years old.
The country has registered only 580 infected in 24 hours. There are 45 patients admitted for every one hundred thousand inhabitants.
