The World Health Organization believes that the coronavirus pandemic is not over. On the contrary, recently, the acceleration in the rate of spread of the virus has been recorded.

This was stated by the head of the WHO Pan American Regional Office, Carissa Etienne, reports Reuters.

Equitable access to vaccines and effective preventive measures can help turn the tide, he said.

“Our region is still gripped by this pandemic … in several countries in South America, the pandemic in the first four months of this year was worse than what we faced in 2020. This shows that we can only overcome this pandemic with a combination of rapid and equitable access to vaccines and effective preventive measures. This pandemic is not only not over but accelerating, "said Etienne.
