The distribution of vaccines in some countries is problematic and until this process is running smoothly, testing for Covid-19 is vital in the management of the pandemic, says WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
The highly transmissible Omicron variant has fueled a sharp rise in coronavirus cases this past week - around half have been picked up in Europe and 40% are from the Americas.
World Health Organisation (WHO) Director Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus says we should all aim to end COVID-19 in 2022. He says this year gave us hope as we had a number of vaccines to fight against the pandemic.
