WHO official Maria Van Kerkhove that respiratory diseases are increasing around the world due to a number of pathogens including Covid-19, flu, rhinovirus and mycoplasma pneumonia.

WHO advises strong surveillance amid rise in Covid-19 JN.1 cases

WHO official Maria Van Kerkhove that respiratory diseases are increasing around the world due to a number of pathogens including Covid-19, flu, rhinovirus and mycoplasma pneumonia.

In the wake of the surge in respiratory diseases and new JN.1 COVID sub-variant, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said that the virus is evolving and changing and urged the member states to continue with strong surveillance and sequence sharing.
The global body also shared a video of its COVID-19 technical lead, Maria Van Kerkhove, who explained the reason for the recent surges and what precautions can be taken.
"Dr @mvankerkhove talks about the current surge in respiratory diseases #COVID19 and JN.1 subvariant. WHO continues to assess the situation. Follow WHO's public health advice to keep your families and friends safe during this holiday season," WHO posted on X (formerly Twitter). Maria Van Kerkhove also took to the social media platform and said that a number of pathogens have led to the rise in respiratory diseases across the world.
"Respiratory diseases are increasing around the world due to a number of pathogens incl #COVID19, #flu, rhinovirus, mycoplasma pneumonia &amp; othersSARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve. JN.1 (subvariant of BA.2.86) is already a VOI and continues to increase in circulation," she stated.
In the video message, Kerkhove said that the recent surge in respiratory infections is due to multiple reasons, including increased gatherings during the holiday season and other infections.
"It's not just COVID-19 that's circulating; we have influenza, other viruses, and bacteria. In other parts of the world, we are entering the winter months, and people are starting to gather for the holiday season. And as people gather, they spend more time indoors, especially if there is poor ventilation. These pathogens that spread efficiently between people and through the air will take advantage," she said.
She further explained that the rise in COVID cases is because the virus is evolving, adding that 68 per cent of the current cases are cases of XBB sublineages and other groupings like JN.1.
"Covid-19 is one of the diseases that is currently on the rise, and this is again due to a number of factors; the virus SARS-Cov-2 is evolving, changing, and circulating in all countries," Kerkhove said.

"It is scientifically and ethically problematic," he said, addressing a virtual press briefing.

No intentions to fight hot or cold war: China's Xi

Amid the military standoff between Chinese and Indian armies in eastern Ladakh, President Xi has said that China has no intention to fight either a "cold war" or a "hot war" with any country

China will never seek hegemony, expansion, or sphere of influence, President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday. He added that Beijing has no intention to fight either a "Cold War" or a "hot war" with any country.&nbsp;Addressing the general debate of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Xi also said that China will continue to narrow the differences and resolve disputes with others through negotations. The Chinese president's comments came in the backdrop of the tense military standoff between Chinese and Indian armies in eastern Ladakh for over four months.

United Nations, PTI: China will never seek hegemony, expansion, or sphere of influence, President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday. He added that Beijing has no intention to fight either a "Cold War" or a "hot war" with any country.
Xi also said that China will continue to narrow the differences and resolve disputes with others through negotations, in comments that came in the backdrop of the tense military standoff between Chinese and Indian armies in eastern Ladakh for over four months.
Addressing the general debate of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, he said, "We will continue to narrow differences and resolve disputes with others through dialogue and negotiation." "We will never seek hegemony, expansion, or sphere of influence. We have no intention to fight either a Cold War or a hot war with any country," Xi said in a pre-recorded video message to the UN meeting.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a surprise visit to Ladakh on July 4, had said the era of expansionism is over and that the history is proof that "expansionists" have either lost or perished, in comments that were seen as a clear message to China.
Xi, also the General Secretary of the ruling Communist Party of China and the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese military, said his country will not pursue development behind closed doors.
"Rather, we aim to foster, over time, a new development paradigm with domestic circulation as the mainstay and domestic and international circulations reinforcing each other. This will create more space for China's economic development and add impetus to global economic recovery and growth," he said.
The Chinese president also addressed the issue of the Covid-19 pandemic and international criticism about China's attempts to supress details about the outbreak.
"Facing the virus, we should enhance solidarity and get this through together. We should follow the guidance of science, give full play to the leading role of the World Health Organization, and launch a joint international response to beat this pandemic. Any attempt of politicising the issue or stigmatisation must be rejected," Xi said.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump blasted China on Tuesday for "unleashing&rdquo; the plague of the "China virus&rdquo; onto the world, demanding that the United Nations must hold Beijing accountable for failing to contain the coronavirus that has killed nearly one million people across the world, including 200,000 Americans.
Trump demanded that China, where the coronavirus emerged, be held accountable for failure to control the virus and for allowing it to spread across the world.
"As we pursue this bright future, we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world: China,&rdquo; he said.
The Covid-19 pandemic has so far infected over 30 million people and more than 958,000 people have died. The US, with 6.7 million infections, crossed the grim milestone of 200,000 deaths.

Expect Covid vaccine distribution in mid-2021: WHO

The large-scale global distribution of vaccines against Covid-19 is not expected until mid-2021, the World Health Organization&rsquo;s chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan&nbsp;has said

The large-scale global distribution of vaccines against Covid-19 is not expected until mid-2021, the World Health Organization&rsquo;s chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan told a press briefing on Friday. She said that the second half or the middle of 2021 looks like a realistic bet when "we can start seeing doses actually flowing into countries so that they can start to immunize their populations,&rdquo; Swaminathan said. This timeline is based on the fact that Phase 3 trials of many candidate vaccines are not expected to be concluded until the end of the current year, the WHO&rsquo;s chief scientist added.
