Unfortunately, since last week, there has been a failed trend in coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. Every day, new records are set for global infections. The infection was most prevalent in Asia and India. The number of infected people increased by 80,000 a day. However, the United States ranks first in the world in the number of COVID-19 infections and deaths. The number of new coronavirus infections has increased by 24,000-25,000 a day.
The statement came from World Health Organization spokeswoman Margaret Harris, Gadin.Net reports quoting the Telegraph.
He said some Latin American countries, such as Brazil, Argentina and Peru, also have high rates of infection. "The number of new infections has decreased. This is good news. In Europe, the number of infections is increasing. This is due to the fact that the population does not follow the rules of social distance and holds mass events."
Margaret Harris said that the reason for the spread of the virus in most countries today is that people allow gaps in the application of the rules: "It is known that people spend a lot of time together. This increases the risk of infection. It is not right for people to gather together, especially indoors. Because in this case, the virus is easily transmitted from person to person. The main way to protect against viral infections is to follow the rules of hygiene. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the mass gathering of people indoors and outdoors is the main factor that promotes the spread of the virus.
To prevent infections, everyone should follow the rules of personal hygiene and protect their health. Maintaining social distance and washing hands is the most effective hygienic method to protect against COVID-19. Indoor space is not a problem. The main question is how to ventilate the space. If ventilation is poor, people are at higher risk of contracting the virus because of poor air circulation. In other words, people are more likely to be infected because the virus is more likely to stay indoors in poorly ventilated areas.
What is happening needs to be taken more seriously and responsibly. In addition, promising coronavirus vaccines are being developed. However, the vaccine will not be ready for more than 6 months. If we do not take the issue seriously, we will face new challenges. A further increase in the number of infections will be inevitable.
He also said: "Children's failure to follow the rules of hygiene also contributes to the spread of the virus. Children 12 years of age and older should follow the adult recommendations for wearing a mask in areas where the virus is widespread and physical distance is not possible. The decision to wear a mask for children under the age of 12 is made by parents.
We understand that wearing a mask makes it difficult to breathe. However, children's health also needs to be monitored. Conditions may vary depending on the growth dynamics of infections. We recommend that children under the age of five not be required to wear a mask. This is based on the child's safety and general interests, as well as the ability to use the mask properly with minimal assistance. When deciding whether or not to wear a cloth mask in areas where the virus is prevalent, children aged 6-11 should take a risk-based approach, taking into account specific factors such as adult observation and the ability to carry the mask safely.
In the pre-pandemic period, there were some problems with the shortage of doctors in the world. However, the establishment of modular hospitals to strengthen the fight against the coronavirus pandemic plays an important role in overcoming the shortage of doctors. We support all steps taken to modernize and strengthen health services related to the coronavirus pandemic. The main goal is to protect people from this disease and save their lives. At the same time, I would like to emphasize that it is necessary to create all conditions for the reception and treatment of patients with coronavirus in the newly opened hospitals.
One of the main directions of health care reforms is the successful organization of the fight against a number of infectious diseases. If we show solidarity in the fight against the virus, we will be able to overcome it successfully. "
