Samuel AkpanNigeria on Wednesday recorded 432 COVID infections. Here are five updates about the pandemic this Thursday.The World Health Organisation says more than 85 percent of the people in Africa are yet to receive a single dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Speaking at a press conference, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, said over 90 countries have not reached the aim of vaccinating 40 percent of their people.“We mustn’t allow this virus a free ride or wave the white flag, especially when so many people around the globe remain unvaccinated,” he said.
Tedros said though the Omicron variant causes less severe disease than the Delta strain, it remains dangerous especially for the unvaccinated. “This huge spike in infections is being driven by the Omicron variant, which is rapidly replacing Delta in almost all countries,” Tedros said.Denmark says it will offer a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to the most vulnerable citizens.“The more widespread the infection is in society, the greater the risk that the infection will reach our most vulnerable,” Magnus Heunicke, health minister, said.
