|July 13, 2024
COVID-19 is still killing around 1,700 people a week globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.
The world health body urged at-risk populations to keep up with their vaccinations against the disease.
"Even as we continue to study the spread of H5N1, we also continue to study COVID-19, which still kills an average of 1,700 people globally every week," WHO DirectorGeneral Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
"However, data show that vaccine coverage has declined among health workers and people over 60, two of the most at-risk groups."
