COVID-19 is &#8220;still very much with us,&#8221; World Health Organization (WHO) officials warned this week, adding that cases are rising globally, with a high percentage of positive tests in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cData from our sentinel-based surveillance system across 84 countries reports that the per cent of positive tests for SARS-CoV-2 has been rising over several weeks,\u201d said Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, the COVID-19 technical lead at WHO. &#8220;Overall, test positivity is above 10 per cent, but this fluctuates per region. In Europe, per cent positivity is above 20 per cent,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>At least 40 athletes at the Olympic Games have tested positive for COVID-19 or other respiratory illnesses, the WHO added in a statement on Wednesday. Many countries have also experienced surges of the virus regardless of the season and the circulation of the virus is likely much higher than reported.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Kerkhove said that governments should &#8220;continue to invest and support our global understanding of the circulation and impact of this virus and to provide their populations with the tools to protect themselves&#8221;. She also urged individuals to protect themselves by getting vaccinated. &#8220;Over the last two years, we have seen an alarming decline in vaccination coverage, especially among health workers and people over 60, two of the most at-risk groups,&#8221; she said. &#8220;This urgently needs to be turned around&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2024\/08\/07\/covid-still-very-much-with-us-with-20-of-tests-positive-in-europe-who-warns\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/covid-still-very-much-with-us-with-20-of-tests-positive-in-europe-who-warns\/\">COVID still &#8216;very much with us&#8217; with 20% of tests positive in Europe, WHO warns<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[706,696,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-covid","tag-europe","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132896\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
