For the second year, the Coronavirus crisis sinks more. Despite the start of vaccination campaigns worldwide, new peaks in contamination are observed in different countries.
The pandemic has reached a “critical” point with infections that grow “exponentially”, warned WHO. “We are currently at a critical point of the pandemic. The trajectory of this pandemic is expanding. It grows exponentially.

With cases up 9% in a week and 5% more death over the same period worldwide, WHO calls for more vigilance and the recess of prevention provisions.
