4 million new cases of corona reported in a week in the world: WHO

- Prime Minister Jessica's popularity declines in New Zealand due to slow vaccinations

- Need to develop a new vaccine for Delta variant due to declining effectiveness of existing Corona vaccines

NEW YORK: The World Health Organization (WHO) said in a weekly report that more than 3 million new cases of corona were reported in the world last week due to an increase in the number of new cases of corona in the Middle East and Asia. The spread of the infection has been on the rise for over a month but corona deaths worldwide have dropped by eight per cent. However, Corona deaths in the Middle East and Asia increased by a third. The highest number of corona cases were reported in the US, India, Indonesia, Brazil and Iran. The Delta variant has now spread to more than 150 countries around the world. Europe has seen a nine per cent drop after an increase in corona cases for almost a month. The number of new cases has dropped in Britain and Spain.

Brazil, meanwhile, has begun easing the 15-month-old corona controls as vaccination speeds up.

Meanwhile, the city has been sealed off with the intention of punishing local leaders in the city following the rise in new cases of corona in China. The whole country has been put on high alert following new cases of corona being reported at the international airport in the eastern city of Nanjing. In addition, new cases of corona have been reported in the picturesque city of Zhangjiajie. People in this city have been locked in their homes. According to the new order, neither the tourist nor the resident can go outside the city.

Researchers studying the third wave of corona in England, meanwhile, say a vaccine targeting the Delta variant needs to be developed. The researchers said that due to mutations in spike proteins, antibodies produced by current vaccines have become less effective, and it is time to develop a vaccine that targets the Delta variant.

A federal judge in the U.S., meanwhile, has ordered Texas state troops not to stop vehicles carrying immigrants on the pretext that they will spread the Corona epidemic. In New Zealand, meanwhile, the popularity of Prime Minister Jessica Arden has plummeted by 4.5 per cent due to the slow pace of the corona vaccination process.
