"These increases occur despite reductions in testing in some countries, which means that the cases we are seeing are only the tip of the iceberg," Tedros explained, warning that when cases increase, deaths also increase.
He added, "It is expected that increases at the local level will continue, especially in areas where the necessary measures to prevent transmission have been lifted," noting that there are "unacceptably high" levels of deaths in many countries, especially where vaccination levels are high. Low among the susceptible population.
He stressed that "every country faces a different situation with different challenges, but the pandemic is not over yet."
