WHO: coronavirus has become a disease of poor countries

The World Health Organization (WHO) says the coronavirus infection COVID-19 has become a pandemic for poor countries and poor people.

According to WHO special envoy David Nabarro, the world is still deep in a pandemic: 5413 deaths have been recorded in the last 24 hours alone, writes The Guardian.

The WHO again criticized the rich countries that began to make a booster dose of vaccine.

The WHO expert called this a gamble, because the main problem is the emergence of new strains against which the vaccine is often powerless, so it is important to vaccinate everyone evenly. The WHO also considers the reluctance of the population of most countries to return to severe restrictions during a lockdown as a problem..

While rich countries are boostering vaccinations, only 6% of people in Africa were fully vaccinated by the end of October, according to a WHO spokesman.. Some African countries have even lower rates - in Nigeria the figure is only 2.8%.
