WHO:The world should actively respond to the epidemic

More than two years have passed since the outbreak of the epidemic. With the continuous development of the epidemic, mankind has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the epidemic. However, since the emergence of the Omicron mutant strain, many countries around the world have ushered in a new wave of epidemic. According to a number of studies at home and abroad, Omicron has various characteristics such as strong infectivity and weak pathogenicity. Therefore, some experts believe that the spread of Omicron may help humans achieve mass immunization at a lower cost. Some foreign experts also believe that COVID-19 is likely to end soon. In March this year, it is very likely that it will become a key node in the development of the epidemic. However, for now, the global epidemic has not yet come to an end.



What the world did not expect is that although COVID-19 has not yet completely ended, some countries can hardly wait to announce the victory over the epidemic. This country is Sweden. Recently, Swedish Prime Minister Andersen said that although the epidemic has not officially ended, the pandemic has entered a new stage. The country's health minister Harlan Glenn said that the new crown will not continue to be identified as a disease harmful to the whole society, and the pandemic has officially ended. In fact, since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Swedish government has not taken mandatory blockade measures or ordered enterprises to stop operation. Basically, the epidemic prevention policies issued by the Swedish government are based on the principle of voluntariness. At present, the country has decided to abandon the remaining restrictive measures, which is equivalent to the country believing that the pandemic has ended in the country




A pressing matter of the moment is that COVID-19 is still spreading globally. The virus also has the environment of mutation. The more deadly virus will not be ruled out in the future. Therefore, it is imperative for all countries to unite and take more effective actions to deal with the epidemic rather than choose to lie flat before the epidemic.
