One in 10 people in the world can be infected with Covid-19. The World Health Organization is thinking about this. This information was given at a special meeting of the leaders of the World Health Organization in Geneva. The issue has come up in a BBC report.
According to a top World Health Organization official, the idea is that most people in the world are still at risk of infection.
So far, according to data from various countries, more than three and a half million people around the world have been infected with corona. However, according to the World Health Organization, the actual number of infections could be around 600 million.
Experts have long said that the actual number of corona infections may be much higher than the actual number.
World Health Organization (WHO) leaders met at the agency's headquarters in Switzerland to discuss the global response to the epidemic.
Although 10 months have passed since the outbreak of the Corona epidemic, it is showing no signs of abating.
Many countries are facing a second wave of corona infections after easing lockdowns. Infections have doubled in many countries.
Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization's emergency program, said 10 percent of the world's population is thought to be infected with corona.
Infections vary by country, region, and ethnicity. Most people in the world are still at risk of infection. We know that the epidemic will go through evolution. But with the tools we have, we can prevent infection and save lives. These are within our control. '
World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Gebreyasus called for solidarity and strong leadership among the nations of the world. "There are differences in the number of corona identities in different countries around the world," he said. Although all the countries of the world are victims of Corona infection, it is an unwanted epidemic. In 10 countries of the world, more than 80 percent of the total infections and deaths have occurred. About half of the infections and deaths occurred in the three countries.
According to Johns Hopkins University, more than one million people worldwide have died of corona infection. India and Brazil top the list of infections after the United States.
