WHO: coronavirus is increasing due to events in Ukraine

Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the WHO’s Technical Team for Emergency Diseases, said the spread of coronavirus infection may increase faster due to events in Ukraine.

The epidemic will not stop because of the conflict, it will only benefit from the situation. So we remain focused on increasing global access to vaccines and reducing the spread of the virus. It is still spreading very quickly three years after the pandemic was declared.

“Even if we see a downward trend, there were 10 million infections last week,” Kerkhove said.

She stressed that WHO intends to continue working with countries hosting refugees from Ukraine to ensure that they receive adequate vaccinations and potential assistance due to the potential increase in infections.
