Geneva, ANI. Countries should follow the roadmap for eradication of deadly diseases like malaria and polio, along with the campaign to combat the corona virus. Due to continuous campaign against both diseases for years, they have been controlled to a great extent. This has been said by the World Health Organization (WHO).


In its report on corona virus infection, the WHO has said that the epidemic has posed a major challenge to public health services. But we also have to pay attention to other serious types of diseases – malaria and polio. At present, the number of corona infected patients has reached 13.41 lakhs in Europe, while the figure of 11 lakhs in America is close.

It is worth mentioning that on Sunday, Pope Francis also appealed to the world community to pay attention to malaria patients. Many countries in the continent of Africa are severely affected by malaria. It is believed that about one million people lose their lives due to malaria.


There is no scope of infection again in patients who have been cured of corona: WHO

At the same time, the World Health Organization (WHO) earlier said on Saturday that there is currently no evidence that antibodies have developed in people recovering from Kovid-19 and they are safe from corona virus infection for the second time. .


WHO warned the governments of various countries to issue ‘immunity passports’ or ‘risk free certificates’ to those who have recovered from Kovid-19, saying that their purity cannot be guaranteed. This practice will actually increase the risk of current infection as cured people can ignore the advice to take standard precautions against the virus.
