"Alikho izwe elingathuthukisa indlela yalo yokuphuma kulolu bhubhane," kusho isikhulu se-WHO uTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, ekhuluma eGeneva ngesikhathi sokugcina isithangami nabezindaba salo nyaka. "Futhi ama-boosters awakwazi ukubonwa njengethikithi lokuqhubeka nemikhosi ehleliwe, ngaphandle kwesidingo sezinye izindlela zokuphepha," engeza.
Ukuphambukisa ukunikezwa komgomo
Njengamanje, cishe amaphesenti angama-20 ayo yonke imithamo yokugoma enikezwayo inikezwa njengama-booster noma imithamo eyengeziwe.
"Izinhlelo zokuthuthukisa i-blanket kungenzeka zandise ubhubhane, kunokuba luqede, ngokuphambukisa ukuhlinzekwa kwamazwe asevele enamazinga aphezulu okugoma, okunikeze leli gciwane ithuba eliningi lokusabalala nokushintshashintsha," kusho uTedros.
Ugcizelele ukuthi okuza kuqala kumele kube ekusekeleni amazwe ukuthi agome amaphesenti angama-40 abantu bawo ngokushesha okukhulu, kanye namaphesenti angama-70 maphakathi no-2022.

UTedros uthe yize imigomo “ngokungangabazeki isindise izimpilo eziningi”, ukwabelana ngokungalingani kwemithamo kuholele ekufeni kwabantu abaningi.
“Njengoba sisondela onyakeni omusha, kumele sonke sifunde izifundo ezibuhlungu esizifundiswe kulo nyaka. U-2022 kufanele kube ukuphela kobhubhane lwe-COVID-19. Kodwa futhi kumele kube yisiqalo senye into - inkathi entsha yobumbano,"
