If targeted and tested steps are taken to control the infection, states can avoid the re-introduction of self-isolation measures in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.
The statement came from Tedros Adanom Gebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Gadin.Net reports quoting publika.az.
He described isolation as a "straightforward tool" that has had dire consequences in many countries. The head of the WHO noted that if appropriate measures are appropriate, it is possible to avoid isolation in the future.
In this regard, the WHO leader drew attention to the experience of many countries that use an information-based approach to target a targeted response to COVID-19.
According to him, this allows these countries to "open up gradually and safely, while maintaining the desire to respond quickly to any new source."
Gebreyesus stressed that states must fulfill four main tasks: - to refrain from holding mass events, in particular, to protect the population and others from other infections, to focus on basic health issues and to protect vulnerable groups from coronavirus.
The director general expressed hope that there would be good news about the COVID-19 vaccine in the coming months. According to him, when this happens, "it will be necessary to introduce an effective vaccine."
