World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has warned about the Delta variant is ripping around the world at a scorching pace, driving a new spike in cases and deaths. He further warned that the Delta variant has spread over 104 countries and is expected to soon be the dominant Covid-19 strain circulating globally.

On Monday Tedros quoted by PTI that, “The Delta variant is ripping around the world at a scorching pace, driving a new spike in cases and death,” Adding that the world is watching in real-time as the Covid-19 virus continues to change and become more transmissible, he said, “Delta is now in more than 104 countries and we expect it to soon be the dominant Covid-19 strain circulating worldwide,”

He further said, “My message today is that we are experiencing a worsening public health emergency that further threatens lives, livelihoods and a sound global economic recovery. It is definitely worse in places that have very few vaccines, but the pandemic is not over anywhere,”  He said, “We are in the midst of a growing two-track pandemic where the haves and have-nots within and between countries are increasingly divergent.”

He further warned, “In places with high vaccination coverage, Delta, first detected in India, is spreading quickly, especially infecting unprotected and vulnerable people and steadily putting pressure back on health systems. In countries with low vaccine coverage, the situation is particularly bad,”

Tedros further said that Delta Plus is highly transmissible variants are driving catastrophic waves of cases which are translating into high numbers of hospitalisations and death. “Even countries that successfully managed to ward off the early waves of the virus, through public health measures alone, are now in the midst of devastating outbreaks,” he added.
