UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- The president of the world's largest humanitarian organization warned on Monday that efforts to roll out a potential COVID-19 vaccine could fail unless equally ambitious efforts to counteract rapidly rising levels of mistrust and misinformation are put in place.
GENEVA, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- Prior to the World AIDS Day on Tuesday, a latest report from the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has warned that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could result in 123,000 to 293,000 new HIV infections and 69,000 to 148,000 additional AIDS-related deaths between 2020 and 2022.
An international health code mechanism is a good way to address the spread of pandemics and should be implemented at the World Health Organization (WHO) level, the Russian news agency Sputnik reported on Monday citing an expert. Andrey Ostrovsky, director of the Center for Social and Economic Research of China of the Institute of Far Eastern Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, told Sputnik that from the perspective of addressing epidemic morbidity and transmission, it is a good idea to implement international health code, which can show where the epidemic areas are and where should be quarantined.
