WHO informed in its pandemic report. WHO's technical lead on Covid-19 Maria Van Kerkhove noted that the virus has still not settled into a seasonal pattern and will require constant surveillance and possible changes in diagnostics, treatments and vaccines.
As the virus is evolving and getting more better with time, it is likely to stay in the future as it gets around its way from immunity through vaccination and past infections.
Experts point at BA.4.6- responsible for around 8% of the cases in the United States last week is better at dodging immune system than dominant BA.5.
China continued its harsh Covid-19 prevention policies as it locked $65 million of its citizens under tough quarantine rules and also discouraged domestic travel during upcoming national holidays.
