At the same time, the level is unacceptably high, says the HEAD of the organization, Tedros Ghebreyesus. According to him, the situation remains dangerous around the world.

The incidence and mortality rate from CORONAVIRUS infection in the world has reached a plateau, said the Director-General of the World HEALTH Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a press conference. A recording of the meeting is available on the organization's YouTube channel.

“The decline is in all regions, including America and Europe. However, this is an unacceptably high level of plateau, with over 5.4 million covid-19 cases and nearly 90,000 deaths last week,” Ghebreyesus said.

According to the head of WHO, the epidemiological situation remains dangerous around the world. In particular, morbidity and mortality from the coronavirus are still increasing dramatically in Southeast Asia. In addition, WHO is closely monitoring the situation in India, where the B.1.617 strain has been identified, Ghebreyesus said, noting that this variant of the virus is of global concern.
