Covid-19 Cases Rise In 4 Of 6 WHO Regions
COVID-19 cases have risen in four of the six World Health Organization regions in the last week, the WHO chief said Tuesday.
Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said drops in testing and sequencing in many countries make it “increasingly difficult” to track the virus and how it’s mutating.
He said North Korea announced its first outbreak of COVID-19, with more than 1.4 million suspected cases since late April.
North Korea’s population is unvaccinated and many people with underlying conditions are at risk of severe disease and death, he said.
The WHO has requested North Korea share data and information about COVID-19 so it can assist in fighting the pandemic.
So far, over 6 million people worldwide have died from COVID-19 and nearly 520 million cases have been confirmed.
