According to the WHO, Omicron is officially milder than Delta
Tedros Ghebreyesus, the head of the WHO, said that Omicron, the variant that is currently the most prevalent in the world, is milder than Delta, but that does not mean it is not dangerous, especially for those who are not vaccinated.
According to him, the rate of fatalities remains stable and can be reduced by vaccinating more people, adding that the unvaccinated make up a large proportion of hospitalized worldwide.
Australian heat: Temperatures in record numbers
While Europe is gripped by the cold, Australia has reported that temperatures off the country's coast have reached 50.7 degrees Celsius, equaling the 1962 record.
This high temperature was reported in Onslou, Western Australia, while that of previous years was recorded in southern Australia.
Onslow and surrounding regions could record record temperatures again, as the weather is expected to be even hotter on Friday. Over the past month, Western Australia has faced major fires and as a result over 6000 hectares of land have been burned.
Heat waves are becoming more and more extreme due to climate change, driven by the human hand itself.
According to the German minister, compulsory vaccination puts an end to the pandemic
Ministri i Shëndetësisë gjermane deklaroi se rruga më e sigurtë dhe më e shpejtë për t'i dhënë fund pandemisë është vaksinimi i detyrueshëm.
Lauterbach, që gjithashtu është edhe mjek i kualifikuar, ka thënë se “me pjesën më të madhe të popullsisë të vaksinuar, ne mund të presim që të shmangim rastet serioze, ashtu sikurse variantet e reja të koronavirusit”.
Qeveria ka vendosur që të paktën 80% e popullsisë të jetë e vaksinuar me dy doza të vaksinës deri në fund të muajit. Ministri këmbënguli në idenë e tij duke thënë se vaksinimi i detyrueshëm do të ndihmonte njerëzit të mbroheshin kundër varianteve më të rrezikshme që mund të identifikohen.
Australia refuzon për herë të dytë vizën e tenistit
Për të dytën herë radhazi, Australia i refuzon vizën tenistit Novak Djokovic, që do të thotë se ai nuk ka të drejtë të qëndrojë në atë vend i pavaksinuar.
The 34-year-old from Serbia has decided to legally fight the decision in order to stay in the country. The number 1 tennis player for men had planned to play at the Australian Open, which is expected to start on Monday. As a result of the action taken, the tennis player may have to face another penalty: being banned from obtaining an Australian visa for at least 3 years.
