inp.polri.go.id –  The World Health Organization (WHO) assesses that the Covid-19 pandemic is far from over. This statement was made at a time when the number of cases of corona virus infection soared globally. Based on Our World in Data statistics, the addition of the world's Covid-19 cases reached 1,067,894 on Monday (11/7). This figure is higher than the previous week, where the increase in global cases reached 900,548 on July 4. "Covid-19 will not end soon," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a news conference in Geneva, Tuesday (12/7), quoted by Reuters. "Seeing the virus suppressing us, we have to suppress it again," he said again. Tedros urged all countries to re-implement orderly health protocols such as the mandatory policy of wearing masks, maintaining distance, to implementing a measurable Covid-19 test and tracking protocol because the rate of transmission and hospitalization of Covid-19 increases. Meanwhile, the Executive Director of the WHO Emergency Health Programme, Michael J. Ryan, said that Covid-19 cases reported to WHO had increased by 30% in the last two weeks, quoted from the agency's release. Ryan said the increase was caused by the Omicron BA.4, BA.5 variant, other derivative variants, as well as the lifting of social restrictions. World scientists are also worried about the emergence of a new variant of Covid-19 called Omicron super. The new mutation of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 called BA.2.75 was first detected in India and has now spread to a number of countries, including to the United States. Scientists say the variant may be able to spread quickly and be resistant to vaccines to antibodies that arise from the previous variants. Even so, experts have not been able to determine whether this BA.2.75 variant can trigger the Covid-19 pandemic to worsen again. This latest Omicron mutation has been detected in several Indian states and is spreading faster than the previous variants. In addition to the US, this super Omicron has also been detected in Australia, Germany, England, to Canada. Regarding the strength of transmission, it is still not certain whether BA.2.75 is more infectious than the BA.5 variant or not. BA.5 itself has now become the cause of the increase in Covid-19 cases in several countries.
