Meanwhile, Tedros Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), at a media briefing on Friday, called on countries to continue to adhere to safety measures despite the progress made on availability of vaccines.

“Progress on vaccines gives us all a lift and we can now start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, WHO is concerned that there is a growing perception that the COVID-19 pandemic is over. The truth is that at present, many places are witnessing very high transmission of the COVID-19 virus, which is putting enormous pressure on hospitals, intensive care units and health workers,” he said.

“Even as COVID-19 vaccines are rolled out, people will need to keep adhering to public health measures so that everyone is protected. We know it’s been a hard year and people are tired, but in hospitals that are running at, or over, capacity; it’s the hardest it can possibly be.

“My personal ask to people is simple, please be careful, think of health workers and act for the greater good, because it will save lives and livelihoods.”
