The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged not to "punish" countries that have discovered the omicron strain of coronavirus, but to take rational and proportionate measures to combat the spread of infection. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
"I understand well the desire of all countries to protect their citizens from a strain that we do not fully understand yet. But I am also concerned that some Member states are introducing drastic, general measures that are not based on facts and are not effective and that will only exacerbate inequality," Ghebreyesus stressed.
He recommended taking measures to reduce the risk of infection in accordance with International Health Regulations. The Head of WHO also thanked Botswana and South Africa for the timely notification of the identification of a new strain.
Earlier, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for strengthening control over the spread of the omicron strain in order not to allow the world to "close down" and interrupt economic cooperation again.
A new strain of coronavirus under the code B.1.1.529 was detected in South Africa on November 11. The first confirmed cases of infection were recorded on November 24. The strain was named with the Greek letter "omicron" and has already managed to recognize its danger at the WHO level.
