–During the holidays at the end of the year, it is important that everyone takes measures to protect themselves from COVID-19, including getting vaccinated and keeping a distance, said Maria van Kerchow, a WHO epidemiologist. Experts also emphasize that wearing protective masks is also extremely important in protecting against the new coronavirus.
“In many countries and communities, we are concerned about a deceptive sense of security that vaccines are ending the pandemic, and people who are immunized do not need to take any other precautions,” warned WHO Director-General Tedros Adanom Gebreyesus.
Representatives of the organization gave a press conference against the background of the significant growth of COVID-19 in Europe.
The director general said that last week more than 60% of all those infected and died of the infection globally were on the Old Continent.
