         The head of the World Health Organization,Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday that "too many countries are headed in the wrong direction" in the fight against the COVID-19. He indicated that people are getting "mixed messages from leaders" and that, without basic measures being followed, the pandemic is "going to get worse and worse and worse." The Americas are the new epicenter of the virus, with countries like the US currently having record cases, and India and South Africa are also surging. The WHO's emergency response head said some places in the Americas may need local lockdowns to "suppress transmission in specific areas where transmission is  getting out of control."

By

  As the possibility of a widely available COVID-19 vaccine steadily draws nearer, initial limitations in supply have left experts worldwide asking: Who should get the vaccine first? The World Health Organization and its appointed Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, or SAGE, have announced a worldwide vaccine distribution plan — it pushes back on so-called vaccine nationalism, the idea that each country should prioritize its own citizens. Instead, the WHO adopts a global approach, prioritizing vaccination among the most vulnerable people everywhere. “The first priority must be to vaccinate some people in all the countries, rather than all the people in some countries,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated in Geneva on Friday. “Vaccine nationalism will prolong the pandemic, not shorten it.” The WHO’s proposed vaccine distribution framework would ensure all countries access to the novel coronavirus vaccine once it becomes available.
