Covid-19: nearly 10,000 deaths in December 2023, according to the WHO

[AFRICANEWS] The head of the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
health agency says holiday gatherings and the spread of the largest variant globally have led to an increase in Covid-19 transmission on last month.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said nearly 10,000 deaths were reported in December, while hospitalizations during the month jumped 42% in nearly 50 countries - mainly in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the Americas - which shared this information on trends.
"Although 10,000 deaths per month is well below the peak of the pandemic, this level of preventable deaths is not acceptable," the director-general of the World Health Organization told news hounds from his headquarters in Geneva.
He said he was "certain" that cases were increasing in other places that have not been reported, calling on governments to maintain surveillance and ensure continued access to treatments and vaccines.
Dr. Tedros said the JN.1 variant was now the most prevalent in the world. This is an Omicron variant, so current vaccines should still provide some protection.
