The number of COVID-19 deaths around the world fell last week for the first time since January, according to the WHO.
The number of new coronavirus cases around the world fell 21% in the last week, marking the third consecutive week that cases have dropped, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.
The Western Pacific was the only region that saw an increase in COVID-19 cases, with a 29% jump, while the number of infections elsewhere dropped significantly. The highest number of new COVID-19 cases were seen in Russia, Germany, Brazil, the U.S. and South Korea.Advertisement WHO also reported that available evidence shows that “booster vaccination substantially improves” vaccine effectiveness against Omicron, but said more details are still needed on how long such protection lasts.
