(CNN)The World Health Organization (WHO) said Sunday it is concerned the
war in Ukraine could worsen the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is trying to
do more to limit the spread of infectious diseases.

Cases in the region are down from the previous week, but there's
significant risk there will be more severe disease and death due to low
vaccination rates in Ukraine, as well as among the more than two million
who've fled the country to surrounding areas, regions also with low
vaccination rates. Ukraine's Covid-19 vaccination rate is around 34%,
while neighboring Moldova's is around 29%, according to Our World In Data.

There have been a total of 791,021 new cases of Covid-19 and 8,012 new
deaths in Ukraine and in surrounding countries between March 3 and 9, a
WHO situation report published Sunday said.
"Unfortunately, this virus will take opportunities to continue to
spread," said Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO's technical lead on Covid-19,
during a Wednesday news briefing. "We as an organization recognize that
countries are in very different situations; they're facing different
challenges. There's a lot of movement and refugees associated with this
crisis."

Also on Wednesday, Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO's health
emergencies program, said there will be a rise in Covid-19 in Ukraine,
"without a doubt." He attributed the predicted increase to lack of
testing, halted vaccinations, and a stressed, war-weary population with
already low vaccination rates.

Ryan added the world should avoid stereotypes around refugees and disease.
"Let us be very careful with our rhetoric because this always arises,"
he said, "that in some way people fleeing the horrors of war are going
to bring stuff with them. Europe has plenty of Covid as it stands, and
it has got to deal with that, and Ukrainian refugees are not going to
change the dial on that."
Sunday's report said the WHO has purchased therapeutics for Covid-19 and
is recommending vaccination campaigns and enhanced surveillance for
Covid-19 and other infectious diseases.

Hungary is providing Ukrainian refugees with free Covid-19 vaccines, and
the WHO has also offered lab support that includes Covid-19 testing.
The Romanian ministry of health has sent medical teams to test and give
Covid-19 vaccines to Ukrainians who have fled their country.
Covid-19 treatment is provided free of charge in Slovakia. Covid-19
vaccinations are also free in Moldova for Ukrainians, with its ministry
of health testing and monitoring Covid-19, among other diseases.
In a joint statement with UNICEF and UNFPA, the WHO called for an end to
attacks on Ukraine's health care systems. As of Sunday, there had been
31 verified attacks on health care facilities, with more suspected.

"Humanitarian partners and health care workers must be able to safely
maintain and strengthen essential health service delivery, including
immunization against Covid-19 and polio, and the supply of life-saving
medicines for civilians across Ukraine as well as to refugees crossing
into neighboring countries," the WHO statement said. "Health services
should be systematically available at border crossings, including rapid
care and referral processes for children and pregnant women."

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
Ukraine & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 )
finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like
http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current COVID
vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.

Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest

So how are you ?









...because we mindfully choose to openly care with our heart,

Be hungrier, which really is wonderfully healthier especially for
