Sharjah24 – Reuters: The number of new coronavirus infections globally rose last week for the first time in seven weeks, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday (March 1).
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the rise in cases was "disappointing but not surprising" and urged countries not to relax measures to fight the disease.
It was too early for countries to rely solely on vaccination programs and abandon other measures, he said.
Adding, "If countries rely solely on vaccines, they are making a mistake. Basic public health measures remain the foundation of the response."
