Spending a “safe Christmas” means avoiding travel and contact with people to reduce the risk of contracting COVID, the WHO Director-General said.
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus has urged people to cancel trips to friends and relatives and not to attend mass events over Christmas because of the threat of the spread of the new strain of the Omicron coronavirus, reports Euronews.
He believes that in today's situation, the ideal place to spend Christmas is at home. “Everyone wants to spend time with friends and family, but cancelling an event is better than losing your life later,” said the WHO Director-General. "It's better to cancel today and celebrate later than celebrate today and grieve afterwards."
As reported, the WHO calls on all countries in Europe to introduce compulsory COVID vaccination.
