WHO sounds major alarm over ‘concerning’ Covid wave coming this winter as deaths soar
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of "concerning trends" for COVID-19 ahead of winter as a dangerous new strain runs rampant across the Northern Hemisphere.
The UN health agency estimates that hundreds of thousands of people around the world are currently hospitalized with the virus. However, the true number could be much higher because many countries have stopped reporting Covid data.
"We continue to see concerning trends for COVID-19 ahead of the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told an online press conference.
