A fourth wave of corona infections has hit West Asia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the fourth wave was caused by the delta form of the corona virus found in India. The corona delta is found in 15 of the 22 West Asian countries, including Iran, Iraq, Tunisia and Libya. However, at the same time, they said, none of the infected had been vaccinated.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Thursday that an average of 310,000 people a week have been infected with the new corona in West Asian countries over the past four weeks. The average weekly mortality rate is about three and a half thousand. She said the number of infections increased by 55 percent and the death toll by 15 percent. We are now in the grip of the fourth wave in West Asia, ”said Ahmed Al Mandari, Hui’s regional chief physician in West Asia.
After overcoming the horrors of the second wave, India began preparations for the third wave in advance. Meanwhile, the impact of the corona delta formation has raised concerns about a fourth wave in the Middle East. However, Hu said negligence in vaccination was the cause of the fourth wave in West Asia. In their words, these countries are not so interested in vaccination in collecting and storing corona vaccines. In the Middle East, 41 million people have been vaccinated. This is only five and a half percent of the total population.
