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

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

Replying to @Cleavon_MD
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

Asking for a friend: how many “wake up” calls do we need to know that the world must better deal with current pandemic — that is not over — and take actions now to be better prepared for the next one? #COVID19 @WHO
