“Transmission will increase when you open up,” Ryan says, because not everyone is vaccinated and uncertainty remains about how much vaccination prevents transmission.
Maria van Kerkhove, WHO’s technical head on COVID-19, says several factors were driving the transmission of Covid-19: the behavior of the coronavirus and its variants; social mix; less social measures; and uneven and unequal distribution of coronavirus vaccines.
“The virus is showing us right now that it is thriving,” she says. “It’s not theoretical.”
Globally, there have been nearly 4 million confirmed deaths from the coronavirus.
