WHO: The pandemic ends in early 2022

Speaking to Danish state broadcaster DR, World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe, Hans Kluge, emphasized that 2021 will also be the year of the coronavirus, but it will be more cautious and manageable than 2020.

Kluge stated that the worst scenario is over, and that there is more information about the virus compared to the year 2020, when the virus first started to spread.

“I THINK IT WILL END AT THE EARTH OF 2022”

Emphasizing that no one can know the developments in the coronavirus epidemic in advance and explains his own forecast, Kluge, “I think the epidemic will end at the beginning of 2022.” said.

Kluge, “It will continue to be a virus, but I don’t think restrictions will be needed. This is an optimistic message.” used the expressions.

MUTATIONS NORMAL

Evaluating the mutation of the coronavirus, Kluge explained that the mutations are normal and that the virus is trying to adapt to the person infected, but the rapid spread of the mutations worries them.

Kluge said that they closely monitor how effective the vaccines developed against the coronavirus are due to the speed of the mutated, faster-spreading strains of the coronavirus, that vaccines can be arranged according to new mutations if necessary, and that there is no need to produce vaccines for mutations.

“WE TAKE MUTATIONS VERY SERIOUSLY”

Underlining that mutations will not bring the virus out of control, Kluge noted that the health system in countries with health systems under pressure may be under more pressure, so they take mutations very seriously.

Noting that the biggest problem will be experienced when vaccinated people come together in the same environment with those who are not vaccinated, Kluge underlined that the timeline is a very important factor.

Kluge, “Speed ​​is our best friend from now on. Everything depends on pace. Speed ​​will save lives and protect the economy and eventually curb mutations.” used the expressions.
