A Quick Covid Guide - with WHO (reference)

Hello,

With >2years into this pandemic and everytime we hope life will resume, a new deadly variant takes over, a minor guide might be helpful (or so I thought). Use this for spreading awareness or digging deeper. I decided to follow the most known bodies for reference - WHO and Google

I have covered these :

  • A. Covid Statistics : Where are we ?
  • B. New deadly Variant : Omnicron
  • C.State Of Vaccination
  • D. Reference Links for live data
  • E. Request for feedback : Do comment if any important section is missed and coudl add value to make this a small comprehensive guide for commoners

B. New deadly Variant : Omnicron .. What does WHO say ?

The B.1.1.529 variant was first reported to WHO from South Africa on 24 November 2021. The epidemiological situation in South Africa has been characterized by three distinct peaks in reported cases, the latest of which was predominantly the Delta variant. In recent weeks, infections have increased steeply, coinciding with the detection of B.1.1.529 variant. The first known confirmed B.1.1.529 infection was from a specimen collected on 9 November 2021.

This variant has a large number of mutations, some of which are concerning. Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant, as compared to other VOCs. The number of cases of this variant appears to be increasing in almost all provinces in South Africa.

There are a number of studies underway and the TAG-VE will continue to evaluate this variant. WHO will communicate new findings with Member States and to the public as needed.

As such, countries are asked to do the following:

  • enhance surveillance and sequencing efforts to better understand circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
  • submit complete genome sequences and associated metadata to a publicly available database, such as GISAID.
  • report initial cases/clusters associated with VOC infection to WHO through the IHR mechanism.
  • where capacity exists and in coordination with the international community, perform field investigations and laboratory assessments to improve understanding of the potential impacts of the VOC on COVID-19 epidemiology, severity, effectiveness of public health and social measures, diagnostic methods, immune responses, antibody neutralization, or other relevant characteristics.
