Omicron is dominant around the world, this is not theoretical. The virus continues to evolve. While we increase protection from severe disease with vaccinations, we must also continue to track changes in the virus and take measures to reduce the spread. In ALL countries. @WHO

After several weeks of declines, reported cases of #COVID19 are once again increasing globally.
A more transmissible #Omicron variant, the lifting of mask and physical distance mandates & misinformation are fuelling the uptick, warns @WHO's @mvankerkhove.

All future scenarios of #COVID19 need to take into account Post COVID-19 condition (#LongCovid) and provide the care for people that they need, everywhere.
Get vaccinated, prevent infections, be kind, provide appropriate care, respect and protect health workers. @WHO

There are a significant number of people suffering from #LongCovid among the 409 million infected. This needs more attention because long COVID will be part of our future @mvankerkhove

Testing remains critical
18 Feb 2022
Testing is a critical component to the COVID-19 strategy so it must be affordable, reliable & rapid. You need to know where the virus is. You need to know how the virus is changing so that the interventions can be adapted and tailored to where they are needed most @mvankerkhove
