Indian Health Minister Mansukh Mandavia said on Saturday that his country had made it mandatory to provide proof of a negative ‘Covid-19’ test for those coming from the country. China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Thailand.
The minister said those coming from those countries would be subject to quarantine if they show symptoms of Covid or their tests are positive.
And the World Health Organization warned in early December that the Corona pandemic is not over yet. And while at least 90% of the world’s population enjoys relative immunity, its director general Tedros Adhanom Gebreisius stressed that there are “defects in the monitoring, testing, genome identification and vaccination, which provide the ideal conditions for the emergence of a new worrying mutant that can cause a high mortality rate”.
The World Health Organization is the entity authorized to declare the end of a pandemic. In this context, last Wednesday Philippe Sansonetti, microbiologist of the Pasteur Institute, stated during a forum: “This is a very important and often controversial moment”, considering that the organization is not ready to “declare the end” of the pandemic Crown again.
