The picture worldwide

Omicron subvariants are wreaking havoc across the globe and the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has urged governments to act now.

Doctor Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said subvariants of Omicron continue to drive new waves of cases, hospitalisations and deaths around the world.

Amid increasing Covid transmission and rising hospitalisations, Doctor Tedros urged governments to “deploy tried and tested measures like masking, improved ventilation and test and treat protocols”.

“I am concerned that cases of COVID-19 continue to rise – putting further pressure on stretched health systems and health workers,” he said.
