Cases of corona virus have started coming again. This time with another new variant, this virus is taking people by storm. The United Nations released a report on Wednesday and said that 10,000 deaths have occurred due to Corona in the last month i.e. December. On this report, the head of the agency, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has attributed social gatherings during the holidays as the reason for the increasing number of coronaviruses.
Tedros said there were nearly 10,000 deaths in December, while hospitalizations in 50 countries rose by 42% in the new year. Most of the cases have come from Europe and America.
The director general of the World Health Organization told reporters in Geneva that 10,000 deaths is well below the peak of the epidemic, but that the number of preventable deaths is not acceptable. He said it was certain that cases were increasing in other places where reports were not coming in, and he called on governments to monitor and provide treatment and vaccination.
